1992-D-Quarter-Error?-Plain-Edge.-Please-Help!

i received this quarter in change and was wondering if it is an error. I noticed the edge is not "reeded" like normal quarters. it is plain. I know it might look like this if it were just really worn down, but it is only a 1992, and the face of the quarter itself is hardly worn at all.

thanks in advance for your help.

you could weight it to check: it should be 5.670 grams (0.182 troy oz)

It has seen extensive use in vending/slot machines which will quickly wear down the reeding.

Couldn't that also be a Dryer Coin? A coin that has been rolling around a dryer for some time.

I did a test of a State Quarter about a month ago and I spooned the reeding down to the edge of the rim in about 45 minutes. It wasn't as smooth as the coin above, but with another 45 minutes, I could have had it nice and smooth. The flattened reeding didn't cause any distortion of the coin.

I know you didn't find my coin because I'm still working on it. I'm going to try and make a simple ring out of it.

Dryer coin. You can see the broadening of the edge in his pictures and you can start seeing the distortion of the field just inside the rim.
