I think I'm seeing what you mean but can you take a full picture of the obverse and reverse? May be some kind of hit from a hammer but have to see the reverse.

Yes I can do that but if you look all of the lines on the front are solid and unbroken. The raised area looks to be about the size of a dime like it was set on top of the quarter then stamped.

Need to see the whole coin and the reverse. Otherwise, we're just guessing.  |

A dime covers the raised area perfectly. How thick is a dime blank?

I wish my camera took better pictures. If you could see the details as well as I am able to then maybe you could tell more about it. All I collect are error coins but I have not been able to find anything on this one and I'm wondering if I should be getting excited. I mean if there is only one than that means.!! ...?

Can you get the weight of the quarter and let us know? Thanks

@JDJ, first welcome to CCF. Second, in the past we have seen similar damage associated with heat damage. Not as perfectly round as this, but rather more lumpy--like the dimples all over Washington's face and neck. It may be that the shape and size of this coinciding with a dime is coincidence. Just above the date on the rev seems to be an area that was overheated the most. I'm not 100% sure on this, but I'm pretty sure that you don't have an error coin. Definitely interesting though!

My scales were stolen along with some of my coins. Gots to love the jerk in the family right? But I will see what I can do.

PMD.
If there was a blank dime planchet in the striking chamber when the quarter was struck, and therefore creating the raised area you see, then the quarter should be blank (and depressed) on the other side where the dime planchet was underneath it.
Someone probably placed a washer on top and hammered it...
