The 1987 Washington quarter is just heavily banged up and damaged after it left the U.S. Mint. It's Post Strike Damage ( PSD), not an error coin. Worth 25 cents now, because it's a cull coin.
The reverse of the quarter looks like it was hit on to with a metal file. Turned and hit again. PSD on quarter. Nickel? Nothing stands out other than it is not damaged. Kind of like comparing a nice car with one compared in a wrecked car in a junk yard.
