 to the CCF The reeding has been removed after it was struck. Considered damage with no premium.

How much does it weigh? Considering the significant damage on the obverse, I will have to say the missing reeding is PMD as well.

Looks like early stage (mechanical) spooning.

Thanks to all for the replies. The coin weighs about 0.04g less than a couple of UNC/AU quarters from same year, so yes, "reeding removed" makes a lot of sense.
I'm very new to coin roll hunting (this was maybe the 40th roll of quarters I've ever searched). For now, I'm happy just to try to build a collection of everything from 1965-present, including all the different mint marks, and then to try to find nicer and nicer specimens as time goes on. I love learning about history and minting processes etc. Who knew split serifs could be the source of so much excitement?
I'll definitely keep a space in my collection for varieties and oddities, but I think I'll just toss this one back. Someone taking a grinder to a coin doesn't seem all that display-worthy.
Not that I'm complaining. In the same roll as the reed-less coin, I found a 1964-P, and I know that's worth more than 25 cents!
Thanks again to all for the warm welcome. I fear this will mostly be a one-way street, but maybe someday I'll be able to answer someone's question! In the meantime, I'll enjoy reading all the back-and-forth, and yes, I'll make sure I include year and mint mark in future topic headers!

Wow a silver quarter in a roll! That is rare at this time, great find!
This coin may be a keeper for educational purposes. I set aside a lot of oddities myself, just make sure they are labeled specifically and accurately.

Spent too much time in a garage/dryer. It is altered. Just a spender.
