Craigzogo New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 08/25/2022 11:03 pm I found a 1999 P quarter with a round edge. The edge doesn't look like it was ground down because it has a higher lip then other coins. Plus it weights 5.6 grama . If anyone has any info please reach out. I think this coin might be legit. Thank you guys! * Edited by Staff - Please review the rules that you agreed to when you registered. * Report this Post to the Staff

This is a consistent pattern of damage from the quarter being stuck in rotary machinery, such as an industrial clothes dryer.

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 08/26/2022 12:55 am We can be so sure because there is no type of mint error that would cause this while there is a very common form of well documented damage that causes exactly this ( Dryer Coin). Same way I can be almost certain you were born and not delivered to your parents by a stork even though I wasn't in the hospital when it happened. Report this Post to the Staff

Second: Dryer? maybe, also spoon alliterating coin. We see this things on daily bases. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/26/2022 1:27 pm The diameter will be reduced. The longer the ride in a dryer is really alter these coins: Spooning also does the same thing, but either way, it is just a damaged coin. Worth just face value and probably won't work in a vending machine. CoopHome: How do you know it a coin is damaged or not? reeds on edge missing, diameter reduced, damage is damage to a coin Edited by coop 08/26/2022 1:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97084 Posts	Posted 08/26/2022 1:37 pm Nice neat rims - I think it is a 'spooned' coin, I would expect to see it bead up much more if it went through a dryer cycle for a few months.
