These photos all look like they were taken with a 90s Nokia. To be of help, we need to clearly see what you are referring to.

Keep trying. If you can't see your issues in your own pics, we can't either.

Look like Dryer Coins. The reed area on the outside edges flatten, and the rims rolled over. So the coin is smaller in diameter now. They do get worse looking. Just a damaged coin:

While the photos remain fuzzy and soft, I agree with the Dryer Coin observation.

as well, looks like a Dryer Coin. Not a mint error, sorry, no premium I'm afraid.

I don't understand how people keep saying Dryer Coin? I've had hundreds of coins go through my dryers but I have never gotten a quarter come out like this one... when I asked about a coin like mine & a 1999 D Quarter came up just like mine... when I looked closely to the 1999 quarter it has the same little indent on the edge of the quarter but mine is at the bottomand the 1999 quarter has it at the top..sorry I only have a metro piece of crap phone so it doesn't take the best pictures...I looked at my coin with my magnifying glass & there isn't any rust on my coin.. the copper is pressed in the coin..my coin looks like it was pressed like a nickel. I think there would be a lot more coins like this if was dryer coined... the 1999 quarter is the only one I found just like mine so some how they let them out of the press..I don't understand why people keep saying a bunch of things that doesn't match up with that it's a Error coin... I'll figure out how to take better pictures but if you looked at the coin in a magnifying glass you can see that it's pressed like that

I've got a lot more images of the same thing. It is from a commercial dryer:

The longer the ride, the more damage that happens to the coins taking the ride.

Thanks but I'm going to run some quarters through my dryer to see if any of them turn out like the one I have if that changes any of them I won't say another word about my Quarter but all the coins I seen what was sent to me those are damaged.. mine isn't damaged...if you were to look in a magnifying glass it's pressed this way & from the pictures that I seen on here of the 1999 D Quarter it's almost exactly like mine accept the little indent that's pressed into the rim of the 1999 D Quarter it's at the top and mine is at the bottom so to me these quarters came from the same press machine they use at the mint..sorry I don't have a professional camera if you could look at my Quarter up close under a magnifying glass you can see that somehow it got pressed wrong & somehow they didn't see it at the mint but from the pictures I seen on here of the 1999 D Quarter I have a quarter that was made 6 year's before his so I need to get in touch with him to prove they're error coins

What is common on all Dryer Coins is this: "They are smaller around than a normal coin." So if your coin is smaller in diameter, then it is a Dryer Coin. (The Dryer Coins are not from a home Dryer, but from a commercial dryer. The fall is about 2.5 times higher in fall, than a home unit. It is like taking a spoon and flattening the edges of the coin making the reed disappear and the edge to get thicker. (Thus why they are smaller in diameter)

Again a answer for Dryer Coin.. so can you explain to me that I've looked very closely to my coin in a jeweler magnifying glass & from the pictures I can see of the 1999 D Quarter has the same little indent that's pressed into it just one is at the top and the other one is at the bottom of the coins... so coins that are 6 year's apart and are in different states can go through the same exact dryer and made the same little indent in our coins and that dryer made our coins exactly like each other's? I know I don't have the best pictures but if you were to look at it under a magnifying glass you can see that it's pressed like that... the coins people keep showing me look more like washer coins... like they were left in a washer... there is no rust and the edges are sharp and if you can look closely it's pressed not like what I see of the pictures of the Dryer Coin's...why can't they be miss printed? Because from all the pictures and from what I've studied they make misprints at the mint.. people say someone tried to make a ring out of it or someone put it in a vice or even Dryer Coin but none of those answers match my coin & the 1999 D Quarter that's exactly like mine so to me our coins make each other's proof they are a Error coin because the answers people keep saying doesn't match what I see in our coins because the 1999 D Quarter has the same exact indent in them that's pressed into them when they were made... to me they came from the same machine that presses them together.. people said they wouldn't let those out of the mint like that but they let the other error coins and misprints out of the mint so why couldn't they of made 2 more mistakes and missed these 2 coins that are exactly the same just 6 year's apart?

Well you make it very difficult. In almost a month you haven't posted a single in focus image.

If you really think they're error coins send them off to PCGS or NGC.

Are you talking about this?
1993-Quarter-Error-Coin
That is 100% PMD, these are just nicks on the coins from wear and tear.

If you our so dead set on being correct, don't ask for our help, we know what we are talking about and some of us have decades of experience with coins. We know your coin isn't an error, and if you don't want to accept it, have fun trying to sell those. But I don't feel like wasting my time trying to help someone who asked, and getting nothing but rejection in return. We are here to help, not to always 'be wrong'.

I'm not seeing a mint error--given the photos posted so far. If you submit the coin to a third party grading/attribution service, please lot us know what the results are. Thanks.
