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
One dollar.
This coin is worth only 1 cent. what you see is corrosoin to the outer copper. The metal is zinc.
Unless the coin is in uncirculated or proof condition, it's only worth 25¢. If you take a closer look at your coin you'll see it's a modern state quarter minted in 2006. The minting date is next to the bottom edge, and 1889 is the year that the featured state, North Dakota, joined the Union.
It's all copper-nickel. The last silver quarters were dated 1965.If it doesn't have the standard copper edge seen on all clad coins, you may have something that was plated for use in jewelry or similar.
Circulation Ike dollars were never struck in silver. Check the coin's edge - it should show a copper core just like a dime or quarter. In that case it would be worth face value to $1.25 depending on its condition. On the off chance that it's one of the 40%-silver collector's coins that accidentally was spent, it would be worth about $8 for its silver content.
A quarter is bigger than a nickle. Also, a quarter has ridges all around the edge whereas a nickel has smooth edges
If it is a totally blank planchet, look at the edge. If it already has a raised rim like a normal quarter, it's worth about $5. However if the edge doesn't have a rim, it's worth about $10.
I have a Canadian Dime 1980 with smooth edges too but have no idea how much it is worth
One dollar.
If this coin is in uncirculated condition it is worth $0.25, other wise it's worth $0.10.
There is 47 ridges i counted i should don't believe me? count! Just kidding I have no clue but good luck bro :)
The Philadelphia Mint hasn't produced silver coinage for circulation since 1964. A 2003-P state quarter is worth 25 cents.
It islikely the obverse die was filled by grease or other crud when it was struck. A very common thing. as to value maybe a dollar.
The most likely cause of a plain edge is that someone filed it down, or it was exposed to some kind of extra wear that affected the edge. That makes it a damaged coin worth only 25c, I'm afraid.
No, a Hickory leaf edge is typically serrated or toothed, not smooth.
a quarter has 130 grooves.
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.
