Friends, I immediately noticed a difference in a coin I was given as change. It is a 1990 quarter but it has no knurled egdes. The back side eagle body lacks features. The Presidents cheek on the front also lacks imprint details? I read the forum question on posting photos. I will try.

We will need some pictures.

It sounds like a well worn out quarter or a late die state which is why the design is lacking details.

Casino coins will have worn off reeding on the edge.

. We will need photos to really help you. Might even be a Dryer Coin.

Put it on top of another quarter and see if the diameter is smaller.
If it is, then it is probably a Dryer Coin but would still need photos of
both sides to confirm.

Without seeing it there's not a possibility of anyone elaborating on what it might be, Show us an image of it.

If not too badly damages, it could also be a spooned quarter, but,
