dsmith45 New Member Canada 10 Posts	Posted 07/05/2014 12:21 am Hi, I have a 1969 Canadian 25 cent piece in circulated condition with no outer rim - it's smooth as a baby's bottom, so to speak. The Charlton guide and the CoinsCanada.com website do not specify this as an error, so I'm wondering if I might have something of value in my collection. It doesn't look to me like someone would have taken the time to file the outer ridges off the coin, as it does not look like it has been tampered with other than it has smooth edges. Is this common for this year? I don't have another quarter of the same year to compare it to. Things like this are getting scarce, even in general circulation. Thank you!

Although errors do occur in groups or may appear to be more common in certain years, it's impossible to tell on an individual basis without pictures. Welcome to the forum!

dsmith45 New Member Canada 10 Posts	Posted 07/05/2014 01:06 am Thanks for the reply. Putting a quarter through the dryer once would not cause this. It would have to go through literally hundreds of times to get this smooth without much wear and tear. Report this Post to the Staff

dsmith45 New Member Canada 10 Posts	Posted 07/05/2014 01:23 am I don't know how I would figure out the weight. When held (as I recall) without the protective cover, it felt like a normal quarter, but I'd have to find a weigh scale that measures grams for a proper reading. Report this Post to the Staff
