It's a really weak strike for a proof. You can barely make out the breast feathers on the eagle on the reverse and no hair lines on the top 1/2 of Washington's head on the obverse. It definitely does not look like a proof strike

Someone could have polished it. I saw a youtube video of someone using a fremel tool with metal polish and the results were prooflike shjine with lousy details.
Another thing I thought I would mention, and I am not saying this is the case with your quarter, but when seeing the pic of the two OBVs I immediately thought of a mercury covered silver Roosevelt I once did as a kid after hearing mercury would put a thin coating onto silver. The mercury tended to pool and make areas that look like the weird shiny areas on the front and other places of George's profile.
As you also suggested, it might be chrome plated.

If polished on a wheel, the heat generated could cause the fields to have that look (in the last photos you posted)...silver stacker to me...

Hard to tell without it being in hand. I cannot tell what you are seeing with the hair and ear. Sorru - off to bed now though LOL! If you weigh it and its within tolerances I would think its just PMD/plated/polished (witha buffing wheel/dremel/etc.).

So if it is plated, shouldn't it weigh more?

Slightly. But the circulation wear would also reduce the weight a bit. A melt coin. I'm not seeing a doubled die. The area that are showing hub doubling is not being showed/clear enough to see what is really going on with this coin.

If it looks chrome as you have said, then it is plated.
