2014 Arches Quarter

I have a 2014 Arches National Park Quarter that clearly has not been stamped on the sides and it has a different feel than other quarters. I know people collect coins like these. What should I do with it?

First, welcome to the neighborhood @BoT !

 

It’s kinda hard to get a good angle on it.

 

Your coin looks like it has been spooned. Didn't come from the mint like that.



Stole that gif from one of @paddyman98 s posts

 

What does that mean? Somebody rubbed it down like that?

 

Didn’t see the gif.

 

Literally no part of any of that is useful information.

 

Yea, unfortunately it is a common post-mint alteration that is done by hobbyists and bored people.
Also, it doesnt really matter for this coin since it is worth 25 cents, but you should never hold a coin as in your pic if you think it may be valuable. Fingerprints and oils harm the surface.

 

it has been hit repeatedly on the edge. usually done like that to make a ring.
