Had to look it up, clad quarter weight is 5.67 grams. Yours is over weight. Interesting !

Since it is thicker I would think it's a rolled thick planchet, but I don't know if it's still within mint tolerances. I suggest to wait for the error experts to chime in. In the meantime, here's a link about rolled thick planchets: http://www.error-ref.com/rolled-thick-planchets/ |

Possibly half dollar stock? Or maybe rolled thick.  |

Half dollar stock was my first thought.
I bought a 1965 quarter from Fred Weinberg last March. It weighs 6.83 grams. So ... yours is lighter....so maybe it still is or maybe foreign stock.

Too light to be on half dollars stock (That would weigh 7.15 grams) Can't be on foreign stock because it is clad and we are the only country that uses that CUNI clad on Cu composition. So it has to be a rolled thick stock planchet. And it is well out of tolerance. Max tolerance spec for a clad quarter is about 5.9 grams.

Interesting little feature down at the rim at 7:00 on both faces which might bear additional scrutiny.

Thanks for the help. I did discover when I compared it to a half dollar that it is not uniform in thickness. It varies between 1.8 and 2.0 mm's on the edge. Is rolled thick a type of error and does it have any value?

I'd say it's an error -- but not a valuable error. Error coin prices are all over the place but I think your coin could be worth anywhere from $10 to $40. It all depends upon the condition of the coin and finding the right customer.
Be sure that you label the coin holder with the proper information.
