Where exactly is the separation located? On the 2 flat spots or where the quarter is still round?

I thought you would never ask, the separation is on the opposite side to the damage side

 to the CCF I agree this is a badly damaged quarter. It did not leave the mint like that. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

to CCF. It is a badly abused quarter, also some heat was applied to the coin to clamshell the cladding off, Ther appears to be minor bubling and dents that we usually ssociate with heat damage. |

This coin was in some type of acid at some point; even a soda drinker's car cup holder can eat away the copper like that. You can see plain as ay the copper edge of the "sandwich" is mostly eaten away. Once the copper is eaten away, it's very easy for the clad layers to pop off, especially with the hits that took. This is not an error. It cannot come from the mint like that.

Ty for everyone's input I just find it miraculous that the quarter stayed together and is peeling apart as three separate discs

Feel free to send it to PCGS. It will be an expensive lesson that you won't forget and will make you study the minting process.
If you took a week and studied the process, you would understand that this cannot happen.
Your very first question should always be "Can this happen during the minting process?"
