I have a 1982 D Quarter with an un-milled edge and I was wondering if it's worth anything. I know nothing about coins so any help is appreciated. One guy told me it was a counterfeit from China.

CoinHunter4 is correct. I know nothing about quarters but that screams counterfeit!  to the forum!

I received it in change from the local BOA before it closed, seems weird they didn't catch it.

The design details are off--I agree it is counterfeit.

Soooo many details, including the date and eagle, are way off. Good eye to both of you for catching it. Would be curious about what it weighs, if you have a scale.

I don't have a scale sorry, I guess I should turn it into the police or something.

Well, I think that this is the official Treasury position on what to do: https://www.treasury.gov/about/orga...suspect.aspxAdded: although I see that it seems slanted toward counterfeit bills, the link for counterfeit coins takes you to these same directions.

Is that a chicken on the reverse?  It's not even a clad coin. and of course the lack of reeding

Keep it...that's a nice metal disc
Secret Service wont care, I had a neighbor that worked for them and showed him a fake five (willing to turn it over), long story short, they only care about larger bills 50s and 100s.
