    Just worn, probably from a rock tumbler or sand paper.

    Looks like someone gave it a touch of sanding. Doesn't look like natural wear.

    I kinda thought it might just be worn but the edges look so good I figured it would be hard to be worn in only those spots and not the edges.

    @Bitcoin2021 Welcome, so you'd do better to post a clear pic of the whole obv and rev of a coin. Declare what you think you see. Then you'll get feedback. Good luck. Peace Roy

    A weak strike error is possible but we need full obverse and reverse and a sample of the edge.

    After it left the Mint, it was pressed partially flat and then rolled around the edge to raise up the rims.

    @Bitcoin2021... Welcome aboard. Your quarter has been damaged after it left the mint... could happen in many ways. No numismatic premium. Cheers, RickO
