Quarter raised edges and flat where should be perforated 1 1

[Eric Schrader]

I ended up with this quarter about 10 years ago I always hung on to it because it seemed kind of odd to me was looking for an opinion on what you guys think I'm no professional by any means but I definitely save all my weird change I have about three one gallon bags full of odd change Eisenhower dollars bunch of random stuff I just don't know enough about the coins but I definitely check everything. I work at a gas station so lots and lots of change run through my hands daily so I get to essentially Farm the change drawer throughout the day take a look at this quarter and tell me what you think.

I have asked a mod to move it. 
To answer your question, the reeding has been removed after it left the mint and is considered damage.   
There is no way that could happen while it was struck in collar.

    Your 1965-98 era Washington quarter--an image of the obverse would have been helpful--has been "spooned", meaning that the edge was flattened and raised by being beaten on by a metal object after the coin left the mint, so it is not a mint error. See the following topic:

   If you think that a coin has collector value, you should not touch it with your bare hands, except by its edges if you must.

No problem, you’re not the first and you won’t be the last. Just remember next time

Just damaged, perhaps spooned or rolled around in a clothes dryer.   But whatever the cause that could not happen when the coin was struck.

And the edge is called "Reeded" not perforated.
