It looks like a metal detector find. Carry it in your pocket for a time and watch the silver color come back to the higher devices on the coin.

I believe it is environmentally damaged. It's not an error.

@CM4, these pics are fine. I agree with the others that your coin has been damaged. We do see that "wrinkling" of the surface with clad coins that have been in fires.

Guys thanks so much for answering. Fire was definitely not even on my mind this quarter is pretty bright and shiny. How would a fire reduce the weight?

Ohhhh yay good catch. I didn't even realize I was there finally. But what does that mean? Am I supposed to do a contest ?

And ps I 100% agreed on it being PMD when I first looked at the quarter. But I'm not checking this one back yet because I'm not 100% sure. It is been struck a couple of times I'm just having a really hard time figuring out if it's overstruck or multiple strike. And it may have been in the fire, but I don't understand how. I'll put in 2x2 and look at it again later
