Appers to be a regular clad quarter left in acid, or perhaps buried at a beach for 45 years. The grainyness implies acidic disintegration.

The 1967 looks like it might have a die chip on the obverse at 5:00 to 5:30 from the ribbon to the rim.
Need a close-up of that spot.

 It is an acid dipped quarter. If it were a quarter on a cent planchet, the devices near the rim would not be present.  |

to CCF! As mentioned before this quarter was acid dipped, but stick around here and you will learn a lot. |

The diameter seems to be a lot smaller than a normal quarter. I suppose that acid does that as well?

Yes, acid can make the diameter smaller also. All of these acid damaged coins probably aren't actually dipped into acid, some of them are probably left in a very acidic environment. It would have the same effect on the metal.
