What is going on with this quarter, there is no reeding? Is this some sort of test or die trial err

I came across this at the shop today. It seems like a fully struck, circulated Delaware quarter - nothing interesting unt il you look at the rim.
I looked at it through a loop and I dont see any sign of reeding like you might see from a well-circulated older quarter.
The weight is correct.
The diameter is correct as measured by a caliper.
I thought it might be a die trial / test strike but I would think that the rest of the coin is too well struck for that - what do you think?

I like the sound of the clangs as the coins fell.
will find them to be common.

........i liked it when the sounds were from the 'ring' of silver coins! NOW THAT WAS MUSIC!

They gave up awfully soon. Agree with the slot machine/casino theory.

Endless Slots.
of course it could still be wear I just think it looks different. regardless I may need it for laundry anyway so it may be a moot point
