It has a smooth edge because it's worn, not because of a minting error. Silver-alloy coins were softer than modern copper-nickel ones and they wore out a lot faster. That means it's only worth its silver value, about $2.75 as of 10/2009

What is a Colorado state quarter 2006P with no copper worth?

The 2006 quarter is composed of a core of pure copper with outer layers of copper-nickel. If there was truly no copper then there would be no coin. If the usual copper line is missing from the edge of the quarter it is not because there is no copper in it but because as the blank quarter was stamped out of the sheet of metal, the outer layers containing the nickel were "smeared" over the edge of the blank quarter by the cutting die and concealing the customary copper band. Scraping the edge of the coin would reveal the copper.
