jcassity Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 02/05/2026 3:00 pm I would like an opinion of if this should be graded or not,,, primary reason due to the smooth edge and its unusual thickness. The obverse is in really poor condition I know.. I am not sure if this is a forgien planchet or not. see pics jcassity@frontier.com Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73857 Posts	Posted 02/05/2026 3:15 pm It's PMD. Possibly a Dryer Coin or it was spooned. Worth face value, as it's just damage and not an error. Not worth slabbing. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19131 Posts	Posted 02/05/2026 3:17 pm Yes, likely a Dryer Coin. Can't rule out an attempt at spooning. Report this Post to the Staff
Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7509 Posts	Posted 02/05/2026 3:20 pm I agree, it is not a mint error,looking at the scratches on Washington's face I think it is a tooled coin where it was clamped and held by a plyer and the rims were grinded off. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187940 Posts	Posted 02/05/2026 3:45 pm I agree, probably a Dryer Coin. Definitely PMD. Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21591 Posts	Posted 02/05/2026 4:38 pm No way for that to happen when the coin was struck. The only way to have no reeds is if it was struck out of collar. Just a damaged quarter worth 25 cents. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95254 Posts	Posted 02/05/2026 4:40 pm I'll go with a spooning, but only because the coin ain't all beat up, and the edge is very smooth. Collecting since 1972.

jcassity Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 02/05/2026 6:21 pm ok guys,, I'm gonna have to look up spooning,, & Dryer Coin,, new terms for me , not new to collecting and hunting but I will add these two terms to my memory,, somehow cause there's so much. this coin is not mine,, a teller at my local bank has me researching what could cause this. she found it in a roll she just broke open and wanted to see if I knew something. not sure what PMD is either.

cointagous Pillar of the Community United States 1143 Posts	Posted 02/05/2026 6:22 pm Spooning is also a new one for me. Anyone have a link so I can learn or do I dare Google this? Report this Post to the Staff

jcassity Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 02/05/2026 6:37 pm ok,, I think I get it now,,, its actually from my self paced quick review of Dryer Coin ,, this one would most likely fall squarely into a "EARLY STAGE" Dryer Coin? Report this Post to the Staff
