D. My husband got it as change. The one side looks like it was grinded but it's smooth to the touch. We are just wondering if it's a error coin and what it's valued at. You look at tge sides all that's there is the nickel clad. Thank u Teresa swiger

So you take a quarter, you grind it down, and you smooth it out. (I don't mean you or him, I believe he found it in change.) No, that does not make it an error coin. Within these pages we have answered about half a dozen questions with similar looking coins that are fairly intact on one side and featureless on the other. I don't know what motivates people to do it, but it's not a scarcity

We kindly ask you to limit your request to ONE item, preferably with images of both sides. We specialize in items that are older and of some historic importance. Please include photos of both sides if possible.
We may use your appraisal on our site as reference for others with the same item(s). We'll never display your personal information and will remove all sensitive information from your submission. Please contact us for a private appraisal. View our privacy policy.
Most inquiries we get are about circulated coins made after 1971, and/or coins where people mistake post-mint damage and wear for "errors". You can expect us to affirm these are face value. We ask that before you write and submit such questions, to PLEASE first read through our existing postings and our "what it's worth" primers.
