Try an Acetone soak for a day or over night to see if it comes off. (Just be sure to use PURE 100% acetone and not fingernail remover (which has impurities in it) Collecting since 1972.

But who would plated a circulated quarter for resale? Undoubtedly just discoloration from something in its past travels.
