That's Post Strike Damage (it happened after it left the U.S. Mint). It's not an error coin. Someone took another Quarter, put on top of this Quarter, and smashed it with a hammer very hard, causing the details from the coin on top to get transferred. How do I know this? Because it's incused, which means it's damage most of the time. They call this a "Squeeze Job". If it was a genuine Double Strike, the letters wouldn't be inverted. http://www.error-ref.com/squeeze-jo...-garage-job/Here's another good informative website to check out. Scroll down to the bottom page, and read about Double Strike. http://www.jimscoins.com/error_coin_examples.phpErrers and Varietys.

@VV, that is an odd mark on Washington's neck to be sure, but I agree with @E&V that it is just damage. A "squeeze job" is one possible explanation, but regardless this coin is only worth face value.

if it was a smash job there would be other coin transfer to the coin.. I have no answer but, it is not coin smash transfer..

Silverwolf , the rim of the sacrificed coin left its imprint on this coins rim and hair bow , then a bit more above that.
What I find interesting is that there is no mintmark on this coin. Either it was scraped away or grease filled

I now have noticed there's no mint mark on the coin, when it's supposed to have one. Maybe the original mint mark was filled with grease on the die. Errers and Varietys.
