merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 06/17/2022 12:11 am Looks to be intentionally ground down, definitely post mint damage as nothing like this could happen in the minting process. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
ttkoo Pillar of the Community Australia 2526 Posts	Posted 06/17/2022 02:39 am Some pubs in Great Britain still play a game called shove ha'penny where a halfpenny is shoved across a wooden or slate surface. The action wears down the coin exactly like your quarter. I know, I got stung on ebay with a uniface halfpenny. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shove_ha%27penny maybe shove quarter has taken off in the states? The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

Can you tell us the weight of the coin in grams? it looks like damage and the weight will tell us if it has been ground or buffed down.
