No Reeding value

I have a one of these quarters that never had the reeding added. I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of it's value.

Hello,

We need to see photos before we can provide an answer.

That can only happen if the collar was missing or the wrong collar was used both of which are virtually impossible.

Hello, I have never seen anything else like what is going on with the edge of this coin. There are no tool markings and the rest of the coin is in great shape. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1YZfiQZNdecvyahAzSPvlURjqq17kReib

That link has four pictures of the coin. I found this coin in change that was all quarters with slight errors, but nothing was of much value. Mostly less than 3 degrees of offset on the other coins.

I am sorry for the grammar mistakes in my last post. What I was trying to say was that I received this coin with several other U.S. quarters, and many of those coins had slight errors as well, but none of the other errors were this significant. I have spent much time trying to find more examples of coins with this particular error, but I was unable to find anything quite like this one. Thank you all for taking the time to look it over.

Does anyone have an idea as to what this error is?

Does it look like this?

Sadly, yes it does. Why would someone do that? I am so glad I never sold it. Is that common?

Not too common, at least not to many are asked about here.  I did it to show how it can be done. If I spend it I guess someone else will wonder about it.

Oh ok, so you are fair certain that what you did is what happened to the one I found? The only reason I ask is because the ring on the obverse and reverse that surrounds the outside seems thicker than normal on mine. That was one of the things I looked at when trying to find tool marks. I am not familiar with the process which is used to add the reeding, but it seems nearly impossible for this to have been done by the mint. Did you leave any markings on the obverse or reverse of the coin you used? Now that I've asked this, I do not think it is a good idea to answer it in case someone later finds this forum and tries to use it as a how-to guide. Thank you for all of your help. A happy byproduct of this is that I found this sight. I am new to collecting coins in a grown up fashion. 

Well, welcome to Numista!  There is a wealth of expert information on every aspect of coin/token/medal/banknote collecting.

To answer your questions. Here is the other side. No obvious marks were left with what I did.

The basic process to make these coins is:

1. Start with a blank.

2. Add the rim (raised part at the edge), now known as a planchet.

3. Load planchet in minting press.

4. Hammer die strikes the stationary planchet against the bottom die. Planchet material flows outwards until it is stopped by the collar. The reeding shape is the shape of the inside of the collar so the reeding is added at the same time.

That explains my first comment.  No reeding would mean the wrong collar was used which can't happen since it won't fit the equipment or the collar was missing so the reeding couldn't be formed. But, if that happened, the planchet would expand well beyond the correct diameter (inner diameter of the collar) and would be quite obvious and production stopped. Your coin does not show any evidence of that.

That all makes perfect sense. Thank you for such a detailed and well worded explanation.  Now that I understand the process, I feel extremely foolish for thinking it held value. For some reason, I thought that the reeding was somehow cut into the coin. Which makes no sense at all for anything mass produced. This, for me, has been the coin equivalent of a crop circle. Thank you for educating me on this subject.
