Quarter with no reeding - Pics

Before you consider this post mint damage, consider there is absolutely no reeding marks anywhere on this quarter, and it is the full size of a standard quarter.
If it is considered post mint damage how could it get in this condition without damage to the obverse or reverse. The edges on the obverse and reverse appear thick. It looks as this was struck without a collar. The metal looking at the edge looks raw, but not abused. In hand this looks pretty clearly to be an error of some sort to me, however I could be wrong. I can't imagine any way possible that the reeding could be obliterated so completely and the coin still be full sized and in such otherwise good condition.

Your coin appears to suffer from PMD which is the short and simple answer you're looking for however, if you really feel your coin is a unique error, send it to Fred Weinberg for examination. If it truely is an error, he'll tell you. If it isn't, he'll tell you that too!
Be sure to report back his findings.

The one thing I have yet to get is a gram scale, all I currently have are ones for shipping use. It's a long overdue purchase that I will very soon cure.

I will be sure to post back anything I find out.
Maybe the edge was worn away or removed somehow then it was smashed which made it get back to the normal diameter, the rim saved the design from damage.
Hopefully I'm wrong

<< <i>To me it looks as if the metal was squished out in the striking process. I think I will send this off so it can be examined in hand. Thanks to all for the input. If anyone else has anything to add please do. >>
THe metal was squished out when the rims were flattened sometime after it left the mint.
