I understand you're new but did you actually think this was an error and came out of the Mint this way?
You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

This quarter was hammered out quite well. Sorry, but you can see all the arcs of where the hammer hit it.

It is also not a good idea to keep coins in vinyl 2x2's, the one in the picture looks to be vinyl. You can tell by how flexible it is, Mylar is not very flexible while vinyl is quite supple.

I could probably make a quarter into a much larger size round(gold quarter dollar leaf anyone?) ok, not that thin but I could probably get it pretty thin. Naughty Khromtau for thinking about destroying money!

It's been smushed, mooshed, mashed, flattened, hammered, bashed, etc.

The fact that it was struck in - collar tells you that it could not have been oversized when struck.
It had to happen after it left the mint.

Agree with the post-strike damage assessment. Would be good to discover the damaged coin's accurate weight.

Just an heavy maltreated Quarter. I never see one so heavy destroyed.

Happy belated birthday by the way

These three videos might help a little to get started as there are both real mint errors and many varieties to find and there are also damaged coins. Learning the differences just can take a bit of time. When new, a lot of people might think something might be valuable, or at least pull things out that are different but really just damaged.
As far as varieties to look for, there is also a book like this that will help get you started https://www.amazon.com/Strike-Rich-...p/0593328604

I wonder if this is an attempt to fill dollar rolls with mutant coins? For every one of these the perpetrator inserts into a roll, he's $0.75 ahead of the game. A variation of the old washer trick?

5.7g is the correct weight for a quarter.
