I've got a Maryland State Quarter that looks like it may be on a wrong planchet. The rim is smooth, but has a copper strip. There is a lot of wear on the back of the coin, which reminds me of the way a nickel wears. It is the size of a quarter, however. Any thoughts? |

We're gonna need some pics for sure., but if it were struck on a nickel planchet, it wouldn't have a copper strip on the edge.

The reeding is part of the minting process within the collar, clad coin planchets have a quit visible cladding layer Someone has modified the coin or it is a Dryer Coin most likely by your description  |

Alright guys, I appreciate the info. I don't think that it is a Dryer Coin. It measures just slightly under the diameter of a quarter, not really small enough to be a nickel planchet. I considered an experimental planchet as well, possibly. I'll try to get some pics up. Thanks again for your input. |

Okay, the pic of the edge is pretty pitiful. Sorry about that. The reason I don't think it's wear is the weight difference. This one feels quite a bit lighter than a regular quarter.

In my opinion it looks like a Slot machine quarter with the reeding completely worn away!
