    My son received this in his change. Is this an error coin? See pictures attached. The edge is smooth, looks copperish. it is smaller than the other quarters and has a large lip. 2005 P Oregon state quarter. Front.JPG Side View.JPG Smaller.JPG Stacked View.JPG Back.JPG

    Spooning = more uniform contact around the entire perimeter.

    Dryer = hit or miss contact and hardly uniform.

    I agree it has the appearance of a spooned coin...regardless of cause, it is post-strike damage.
    Keep up the hunt!
