Outdoorsaddict New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 07/15/2017 2:01 pm I received change at a gas station and the quarter was unusual. It laid on the console for weeks and I finally decided to investigate a bit. Is this a mint error or has some clown spent a lot of time sand the edge off this coin. I don't see signs of grinding but no absolutely nothing about coins or defacing them. Report this Post to the Staff

A coin that goes through a dryer or slot machine a few million time and gets worn down. Report this Post to the Staff

But keep looking -- there are lots of goodies out there to be found. Report this Post to the Staff
