Cdahlk2001 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 10/25/2016 11:15 am Found this 1979 quarter. The edges are smooth. No trade on the rim edge of ever been struck on the sides. Is this common? Or man made? Or an error? Thanks for your input. The quarters I have it. Ext to are a 2010 and a 1964. Report this Post to the Staff

KisNap Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 10/25/2016 11:23 am My bet is that it's a slot machine coin. Spent a lot of time in a casino and the repeated insertion causes the reeding to wear away. Report this Post to the Staff

Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1602 Posts	Posted 10/25/2016 11:52 am Are you serious about one of the coins being a 1964? A US quarter-dollar of that year should not have a copper edge. And to the CCF; best on the net! Edited by Biedercoins 10/25/2016 11:53 am Report this Post to the Staff

Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1602 Posts	Posted 10/26/2016 07:15 am We still have those parking meters. Not only do we have them, but dimes and nickels will still buy you serious time, too. Report this Post to the Staff
