Hi all! I'm new to coins and would like to learn more about this quarter error I found. It's thickened around the edges with something of a rim with a smooth edge. Also, both Eleanor's and Washington's face are flattened in places. I'm sure there are other things I'm missing. Would love to hear how this happens and if it has any value! thanks!
@cha, first welcome to CCF. Second, you have a so-called Dryer Coin. If you click on the linked text you'll have a better idea of how this type of damage occurs.
