Basically I have this 1985 Denver mint quarter it appears to have smooth edges and either damage or an error on both sides of the coin. If anyone knows which one it could be I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

From what I can see, your quarter has post mint damage. No errors here, just damage. Report this Post to the Staff

This coin would be a spender for me, but I agree with @merc about not touching the faces of your coins if you can help it.
