I've had this coin for a couple years and have dipped it in acetone before and it does nothing I can do it again and take pictures of it if you need me to but I'm for sure that it does nothing here is a picture of the reeds  |

If you already put in acetone, I do not thing it is necessary second time.
I put up here the explanation of the improper annealing. You have the "baby" (in lab we say babies for the coins) in your hand and see better then any photo in the word.
By experience in this kind of error, the like on effect was done by counterfeiters with mild heat. Others explanations for your coins I will let the most experience folks, me I touch my expertise not others.

For Quarters, coins with improperly annealed planchets will typically show dark brown coloration, like the coin above, but can also tone deep purple or have spots of purple and blue and yellow. The easy way to tell the difference between an annealing error (which happens before striking) and environmental damage (which happens after striking), is that the luster of the annealing error coin will typically be uninterrupted and flowing freely over the discolorations. Corrosion will disfigure or destroy luster, but there are luster flow lines struck into annealed surfaces.   Everything from NGC forum. |

 I'm trying to capture the luster but for some reason my phone does not want to pick it up right I promise you it's not all pitted and it's perfectly smooth shiny when you twist it in the light has a few dings and scratches but the luster is all there Edited by Sanaul

I have quite a few coins to ask about but only do a few days not to bother people I've collected them for years and years any coin that look different or anything like that I keep separate look at when I'm bored and try to figure out

@Sanaul (hard to find the roots of the nickname)
The last photos show an improper annealing.
You choice to keep or sell.
Those coins are sell between 35$ and 125$ for the most newest coins. Pre 1990 could go few thousands in auction.

Sanaul, just so you'll know, you ARE allowed to type more than one sentence into message boxes here. Having one sentence per posting wastes a lot of space. FYI.  |

I'm sorry about one sentence post it's just I forget stuff and then I remember to say it sorry I'll try my best and about selling maybe if I ever fell in hard times but that's not the case now I'd rather have what I found if I ever found anything correction maybe if it was enough money to change my life I would sell something but if it just makes me a little bit richer I'd rather keep it so I'm not a liar I have tried to sell stuff on ebay but no better now I was just trying to see if it worked mistakes wasn't to get rich or nothing just to see if the coin was real really dum of me Edited by Sanaul

The problem for us to see what you see in hand is the fact that this coin is in a plastic holder creating glare and masking any luster the coin may or may not have on it. Can you - are you willing to carefully remove it to get better pictures of the raw coin without the interference of the holder? (Use white cotton gloves if you have any, latex works as well) and hold the coin ONLY by the edges.

To me it is not an annealing issue. On these it should look like a peeling color affect. The metal is blacked on an annealed coin. So circulation wear would not affect the color on the tops of the devices when circulated.
