John is correct. That was not done by the mint and is not a mint error.

Third opinion is the same. That could NEVER have happened at the mint.

FYI it is only an error if it happens during the striking of the coin.
You cannot have a rim on only one side of a coin so it must have
happened after it was struck which would make it damage.
Worth face value.

Study up on the minting process and you will see for yourself why there is no way this could happen at the mint.

Note the rim on the reverse? If it full. The obverse rim was removed. You can see the sanding marks. Just a normal quarter someone altered to make it look like a mint error. Decided to spend it and you found it.

and..
Yet another opinion here - the rim was ground and/or sanded off. Not done at the mint, but after it landed in someone who got bored one day and decided to test their power tools out.

Who else wants there to be a required license or permit or registry, for any sanding device purchased? The idle time some people obviously have just blows my mind!! I'm wondering how many other objects, or brain cells, he/she sanded off, before they saw the quarter?

Reminds me of a story of a guy that was metal detecting and kept getting a signal on his detector, and kept digging. Down in a hole 12 foot deep and needed to be rescued. Why did he keep digging? The sign was very strong. Later discovered, it was his steel toed shoes that was kept setting off his detector. So it happens.
