Also I thought I would mention that the bundle of arrows inside the eagle talons normally bows downward not up.plus the missing arrow tips with out a trace?
Much post-strike damage, including (perhaps) prolonged exposure to a caustic environment. Can't rule out heat damage. The coin did not leave the striking chamber in that condition.

The deformities of the face on the lower half all seem to be raised above the level of the upper seeming as to have more metal but there is no flexing or warping to shape
Heat causes warping , acid causes pitting , at first glabce it looks like pitting I understand why you said it , would you say there is a 50 50 chance that is not pitting. When something corrodes it will not leave geometric edging along the perimeter of the defect it will be very much more erratic placement of the deterioration where the metal is weekest, no straight lines acid or parking lots. Look at the edge of the pits
The edge of the face pitting , and the area on the eagle side where the eagle caries those 13 arrows underneath his right wing the arrow tips are missing and the bundle is flexing upward instead of downward. Did that leave the mintlike that?
It doesn't matter what happened to this coin. It is not an error. There is no way if you know how coins are minted, you would think there is any type of error here. There is enough damage on the obverse that it pushed the reverse out. Thats why the arrows look bent. Ran over in a parking lot, circulating for 25 years, heat, it's all damage.
How about some close ups of the arrows? Hard to diagnose a coin from across the room. Your images are small and the details we need are just not viewable.
But for now, I'll go on record saying that this coin was exposed to heat and or acid and was eroded.
This it is pitting in metal, I do not need to explain more about and you J2LAX4XO you are wrong in assesement.

" Heat causes warping " Incorrect terminology for the clad coins. Warping apply to other things in metallurgy.
Was a bundle of arrows and not 13 arrows. I will be interested to know who wrote this non-sense.
Yes your coin has pitting, was bit like a heck in his life, the sided was flattered by circulation. It nothing wrong it tha design of this quarter (if we can still name Quarter).
