Makecents222 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 07/12/2021 1:44 pm It's definitely, indefinite to make out as a mint error. So I'm looking for some insight. I can say that it's definitely a U.S. quarter, dated 1984. The mint mark looks like D. No markings that indicate sanding or scraping or wearing from machine slots was involved. It weighs 4.72g and the edges are completely smooth as if there has never been any reeding. What's going on here? Is the a mint mistake or post mint? Report this Post to the Staff

I'm thinking it's a nice example of a dryer coin--trapped for a while inside the mechanicals of a commercial-grade dryer. Report this Post to the Staff

Can you please measure the diameter for us? Thx.

Makecents222 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 07/12/2021 2:51 pm Thank you all for the welcome to. I had a feeling excessive heat was involved. Oh well, back to the search. Here's the diameter. Thanks again. Report this Post to the Staff

Makecents222 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 07/12/2021 6:17 pm Thanks again for the welcoming greets. Because I reside in Vegas, I come across so much coin that I'm certain to find something that might be worthy of the attention. Until then, Happy Hunting! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/12/2021 9:56 pm The commercial driers are dropping the coin from a high arc and flattening the edges of the coins. On a longer ride, the quarters get even worse looking: Report this Post to the Staff
