That is about a gram low, but there's considerable wear to the poor guy. However, I can't think of any other suitable planchets for a coin of that size. I think it's just on the low side of normal.
It looks like a parking lot coin.

6.25 grams is the nominal weight with a roughly 0.20 gram tolerance out of the mint. Assuming your scale is accurate this coin is on the very low end of tolerance for a quarter with that level of wear. Has any of the reeding been shaved?
Nothing really extraordinary jumps out either way though.

From the surfaces I would suspect and acid soaking.

Surprising. Not that much detail missing, really. Can you confirm accuracy of the scale with a different example?

Sorry for late reply, just got home. Reeds are not shaved off at all, there still there and defined. The details o feel are way to strong for a acid bath and if you notice the words and numbers show no sign of acid or major wear damage.
About to send sCale pic with diffrent coin for verification.
