1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.

2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

This is a typical clad quarter where the edging on the side has been flattened either intentionally ("spooning") or from use. The wear on the high points of the design also testify to this. Another possibility is this is a dryer coin, but was removed after not long inside the dryer:
