It is a 1965 Washington quarter. I've been looking online for something like this, but haven't found anything similar. The quarter is lighter than normal and missing a lot of the nickel plating. What is this called? What do you think is it's value?

More then likely the coin was pulled from the ground. Something had covered it just right to apply toning or discoloration to only certain areas

It isn't a toning error. It actually has a lot less nickel.

Looks kinda small. You compare it next to another quarter?

It is a little smaller. I'll put up another picture with a standard quarter next to it.

Would you like a side view comparison picture? It is obviously a lot thinner.

Have you heard of this happening?

It looks like a chemistry experiment to me; someone may have soaked the coin in acid.
