Any idea on value?

I've looked up non reeded quarters can't find anything like it. Clearly not worn down or altered. Any help would be nice.

I am not an expert on errors, but looks like it was buffed smooth, Post Mint Damage. The experts will weigh in sometime to elaborate.

 

It's rim and measurements seem to be same as other quarters.

 

Google for dryer coin

 

Dryer coins/slot coins usually have a melded color... usually more distinctive facial marks n a rim size difference yes?

 

What makes you think that? What is your source of information?

I am not sure without the coin in hand, but looks like a sander or grinder was used to smooth the edge.

 

Measures same as most other quarters rim height still same rim with measures dam near same?

 

I grew up around foxwoods casino, I've seen slot coins/dryer coins a bunch. It don't seem to look like one to me. It's odd, still could be but don't seem it.

 

It has been altered. It' worth a quarter.

 

The retention collar in the coining chamber for the quarters has a reeded edge. If we are to assume that this coin is a Mint error, how do you explain the fact that it was struck with a smooth edge? Also, if it was struck with a smooth edge, you would think that there would be thousands, if not tens of thousands, struck with the same smooth edge. If there are so many, why has it taken 25 years for one to surface?

So different from any slot coin I've seen growing up around a casino and owning a vending service that only uses quarters is what made me question this one. It should have well more of a difference in the rest of quarter also yes? It's not that worn.

 

Not to say it is a error or not a slot coin etc just seemed too odd not to question.

 

It has been "spooned". You can still see the faint separation of the reeds that have been flattened, and yes, I can see that the rim is slightly higher than a typical rim.

Looks same as new quarters in rim depth even measures about same... I screw with it a while before I questioned here.

 

Your quarter is clearly worn enough to make the PMD statement. I can also see evidence of the reeding in the last post you made post 12.

 

If you are on the east coast and are willing to travel to a show I'm set up at I will photograph the coin for free for ya... also give you my opinion of PMD or error.

Based on the photos you have provided, I'm leaning toward PMD (post mint damage)

 

The photo of the edge is too blurry. Can you post clear photos of all three sides? This appears to be an entirely different specimen. What is your point?

"About the same" isn't the same as "exactly the same". I've been using drafting, mechanical drawing and AutoCAD for 55+ years, and not even I can claim to see a variance of 1/128th of an inch.
