@eyez, a normal quarter should weigh roughly 5.7 grams. Not to be rude, but are you sure that your scale is accurate? There isn't a way for this coin to have been made like this at the mint. The frog is right that is has been filed/ground/sanded to remove almost all details from the rev.

Ok well then that is odd. To be clear you are saying that this piece weighs more than a normal quarter, but yet obviously has had some material removed. Can you please post a couple pics of the edge and also (carefully) use calipers to measure the diameter and thickness? Thx.

Almost looks like two quarters stuck together, like trying to make a doubl-headed Coin... but why would the filed reverse be showing? Who knows, just thinking out loud

Ok yes this is the pic that we needed, although your pic of the coin's thickness is too blurry to read the dial. Is it thicker than normal? If so, then perhaps a second coin has been braised on top of a regular quarter and then filed/ground/sanded.  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
