Smooth Edge Quarters

Have a damaged coin and want to know its value? Leave a comment

Often people think they found a special quarter that lacks the reeded edge. They think this is an error and the mint forgot to add the ridges on the edge. Unfortunately in 99% of the cases this is just normal wear.


Pictured above is a mix of state quarters, 1990s quarters, and two 1970s quarters. Can you tell which Washington quarters are from 1972 and 1973?

That is right the ones with almost no ridges are the oldest. They also have slightly thicker edges and a bit of a raised rim. All of this is natural. Quarters are heavy and the edge gets banged around a lot and over time this spreads the edge. As a result of the thickening edge the face of the coin stays on a lower level and is less worn given the illusion that that it was specially made this way.

Despite being made of copper and nickel these metals are very easily altered. It does not take a lot of pressure to move the metal and thousand of small hits a year for 40 years makes a naturally smooth edge.

So this is not an error or a variety but just how some quarters end up. So what about the 1% of coins that are not worn? Well they are a mix of fakes, purposefully altered, or a out of collar strike. The out of collar strike has other telling signs like be larger not smaller in diameter.

The Value
No extra value.
Since this is not an error and alters the coin it will only cause a coin to lose value. Face value will stay but occasionally the edge becomes so thick it cannot be used in vending machines.

Sidenote: Found a 1973 Canadian dime but since I got one three months ago it does not need to be re-posted. 

Do you have damaged coins and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.

I have a 2002 Indiana quarter that does not have the ridges on the edge. it is not from wear or vending machines, it was just manufactured without the ridges on the sides. The sides are just completely smooth and they never once had the ridges on them. How much do you think this quarter is worth?

If it is the same size has other quarters it is damaged.

If bigger or smaller an out of collar strike error about $15.00.

Unfortunately this can be faked, known as spooning.

Could be a damaged or spooned coin which is done intentionally and has no extra value.

It may be a Die Cap error, these are worth extra but must be verified in hand.

Many reasons like wear and Grease Filled dies are possible but a smooth edge quarter holds no extra value.

Any coin struck out of collar(with no edges) would be deformed.

An error where one side is blank is not possible.

The fact that the coin is smaller in diameter proves that it was altered.

Unknown said...

How could it be altered.

Man said...

How could it be altered.

When a coin is turned into a pendant one side is shaved or polished flat, this can be done by hand or a machine. To fit in a jewelers pendant the edge is pounded smooth.
This makes the coins diameter smaller but the width of the coin bigger.

At the mint this is never possible because the press is fixed at an exact width, depth, and diameter. A true error can only make the coin thinner and larger, called an Out of Collar Strike.

Coin metal is relatively soft an altered coin can be reshaped into anything yet look like it is brand new.

Possible minor Off-Collar strike it adds little value, if the condition is mint state or higher maybe a few dollars.

Possible Broadstrike Error, that said only an expert can judge in hand but it would affect both sides.
Partial Collar Strike is also possible.

I found a 2003 D Arkansas quarter. Looks like alot of errors. And the edge is flat. A lot of die cracks. Can you tell me anything bout it.

I also found a 2017 D penny, has the Lincoln Memorial building on the back but its stamped in different color inks. I compared it to 1959 D penny, and it's that building but stamped in ink.

I have a quarter 1987p thicker rim smooth copper... if was a worn rim don’t think it would be thicker rim. But I am no expert can I get your opinion?

My son and I are trying to learn the hobby and we've been stumped by a particular 1972 Ike dollar. It is pewter colored with a slight yellowish tone mixed in on the obverse. Scouring the internet we've seen some extremely interesting toning, but can't find one like this. I'm concerned I may have to tell my son it's counterfeit, but our uneducated research hasn't found any metal, legitimate or otherwise, that turns quite this shade of gray. Any info would be greatly and sincerely appreciated. We wish you and yours health, happiness, and safety during this difficult times and, again, thanks for your time and courtesy.

Hi! We have a 1985 P quarter that is flat on the edges. Half of the quarter is gold and the other side is silver. It seems fatter and smaller than our other quarters. Heard of anything like this? Is it a misprint or a counterfeit?? Thanks!

Hi I found a 2001 Kentucky quarter that has a very wide smooth edge with no sign of ridges it does not look like normal wear and tear I w like to know if it might be worth anything? Thank you for your time and help.

Unknown said...

I have a newer quarter, I can barely see the stamp on either side. It is a Minnesota land of10000 lakes quarter it has the lines on the outside but no rim on top or bottom. Is that worth anything?

Unknown said...


HI, I HAVE A 1988 D QTR. COMPLETELY SMOOTH EDGE, NO REEDS AT ALL, SIZE AND WEIGHT ARE TO SPEC.
WITHIN .002. THE RIM IS PRONOUNCED, NOTHING LIKE A DRYER COIN. FAINT DETAIL , DOUBLE. IF IT'S POSSIBLE FOR A COIN TO GET INTO CIRCULATION MISSING REEDS?, THIS IS IT. ANY IDEAS?

I have a 1984 P Washington quarter that shows very little wear on the script on both obverse & reverse. It is smaller in diameter from other quarters with a considerable outer raised edge evenly from both sides of the coin and has no reeding. Also Washington’s head and face are flattened along with the eagles breast and doesn’t appear to be normal wear. Actually, the deformed outer edge of the coin partially covers bot “In God We Trust”, “One Quarter”, “Liberty” & “1984. I find all of this very unusual and would like to know what happened to this coin to create this. This does not to me seem to be a machining alteration because of the even this and consistency of this error. Thank you.

Hi, My name is Angel. I found a 1998 quarter with completely smooth edges, in fact the very edge seems almost sharp. The quarter's thickness is almost 2 mm. Worth anything? thank you for your help?

Unknown said...

I have a Washington State quarter. It's a 2000 P Virgina quarter. The rim is completely flat has no ridges at all and the quarter also is darker, than the original quarters. And also the coin has wider edges. I would send a picture if I knew how. Thank you,

I have about $10 in Washington quarters of varying years. I got these in change from various merchants. Funny thing is these coins have basically identical damage on them. Smearing on surface, edge damage and other things. Would be happy to send pix. Please email me

I have 1966 quarter i found it isn't damaged has no ridges and was black Nd old looking when I found it Nd cleaned it

I found a 2013 New Hampshire "White Mountain" Quarter which has no ridges. The obverse and the reverse are both smooth. It also has a line through the E and the M in White Mountain. Has this coin been altered or is it a rare coin? I have images.

I have a 2020 quarter with no ridges. It has a smooth edge. I have had it since mid 2020 put away in a box so it hasn't. It isn't very used at all. Could this be a production error?

Unknown said...

I have a 1985 quarter and it don't have any ridges and it is thicker and on the chest of the eagle is smooth and do is party of the face

Unknown said...

I have a 2020 quarter with a smooth edge. No filing marks. It is noticeably thicker than the regular sized quarter. The cheek of George Washington is flat and so is the image on the reverse.

You don't even know what coins are made of, yet you're telling people their errors coins aren't worth anything. Are you even a numismatist (someone who studies coins and actually knows what they are talking about)are you maybe a coin grader a coins dealer ? You caught my attention when you stated ""I really don't know what quarter are made of"".....wow... take note... a quarter contains a pure copper core 2 layers of cupronickel it's 75% copper and 25% nickel... and it weighs in at 5.67 grams with a tolerance of 4hths above or below that should be looked at by someone who knows what materials coins are made out of.. not sure why my husband's name is showing up but I'm Kimberly... have a good day study up a bit in the coin department..
