The quarter is wider/taller a regular quarter, but it does not have the markings of a partial collar. could it have been worn down? But I haven't seen a MAD on both sides of the same coin. I need experts please.
Well then, it is called a Brockage, struck without collar deployment, also known by "off-center strike. it will appear as MAD both sides and be larger. On reeded edges the impressions aren't there because those are on the collar, not die.
Quote: the third picture is two quarters up against each other to show how much taller the one in question is.
That certainly could be consistent with a coin struck out-of-collar. There is no retaining ring to confine the planchet's expansion during the strike, so the end result of a coin could be out-of-round, or oblong. In that case, there would be no reeding on the coin's edge (like yours) because the collar applies that during the strike.
P.S. Never hold a coin by its face, only by the edges. Fingerprints can be very detrimental to a coin.
