Ringooo Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Hello everyone, I recently was gifted my grandpa’s coin collection. I’ve been cataloging it for the past two day. I got to a bottom of a box and found this random quarter in a bag. Was reaching out to see what is happening with this quarter was done manually or a big error. heavily scratched looking. Smoothed outside. Look like a ring. No date available, but can tell Washington. Has the weight of a silver quarter and not a regular quarter. any help would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 That is not a mint error, I cannot say with certainty how it came to look like that but it didn't happen during the minting process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringooo Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 Thank you for your help Coinbuf! I figured it was probably just someone who was bored turning a quarter into a neat ring. When I googled ‘rounded edge quarter coin’ there were people selling rings they made from quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Bob Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Do a search for "dryer coin." You will find pictures of coins that look similar to yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbbpll Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I think someone was spooning it into an actual ring and gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
