Well, I hope to see the OP return to follow-up here. I really would like to see the reverse.

SM420: we always need photos of both sides of coins posted here. Something seems off the me with the size of the indent. This one appears a bit flatter in the curve than the true roundness of another planchet. We don't see many of these here, so it's probably just my untrained eye. I'd love Mike Diamond's take on this one. It's been more than 24 hrs since this thread was posted. Hopefully we'll see photos of the reverse soon.  |

Hope the OP comes back with more images.
A regular indent wouldn't have the rim across the edge would it?
Maybe a defective planchet before the upturning machine put the protorim on the planchet?
Or a multiple struck coin, including a collar strike?

Really hope you find it. Would be tragic to loose it if it's an error coin this cool looking.

I believe John1 reference to the indents and partial brockages from error-ref.com is what this error suppose to be, worthy to get this authenticated by PCGS or NGC.

Thanks John1 (and Macmercurey). It does look like "An in-collar indent" on the link John1 posted.
Thanks SM420 for the additional image of the reverse. Glad to see you located it again.
That reverse is neat the way the rim "fades" in and out from K6 to K9.
Is the date damaged?

The date isn't damaged, it is strike out of collar, notice the double rim.

Are we still talking about the OP's quarter and the new reverse image, or about the one John1 brought up? I'm confused  On the OP's quarter, I can see that the device opposite the 'big dent' is severely flattened out - like the obverse took a big hit..  |

It's an in-collar indent associated with a slight horizontal misalignment of the obverse (hammer) die. As is often the case, the direction of the misalignment is toward the pole opposite the indent, suggesting this is a "forced misalignment".
