What happened here?! Virginia quarter 2014

Wouldn't be right for me to ask without putting myself out there by taking a guess...
At first sight I thought maybe it was a partially spooned quarter both on the edge and strangely on the faces too but the rims look pretty good from face on...a closer look and I'm thinking possibly fairly worn dies just completely soaked in grease.

My guess is vending machine wear..
I found several of these types when CRH for W quarters 😎
It could be an early stage dryer coin.
Whatever the cause, it didn’t look like that when it left the mint.
Looks like PMD to me

This.
Pmd.
How would struck through grease with worn dies remove the reeding?

Another vote for a dryer coin.

Not a washing machine (dryer) coin as they look very different.
This coin is PMD, not sure what happened, perhaps a a rock tumbler.
Pmd, looks like a sand blaster got ahold it as well, just saying
I like this. Might explain why some of the deeper areas around the rim and edge of the design are less effected.
