@ja, first welcome to CCF. Second, sorry but this quarter isn't from a clipped plachet. Rather it was damaged. The value is just 25 cents.

. Thanks...the only reason I questioned it . the area that appears to be clipped is reeded.. I would assume that if it were damaged that the reed edge would be mising

@JA, yes that is a good assumption, but actually the opposite of what happens. Here is a link to a wonderful website with information on mint errors. About half-way down the page, you will see that reeded coins with clips have those sections not reeded. http://www.error-ref.com/?s=clip"If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Can someone tell me how the quarter received the reeded or milled edge on the side that appears to be clipped. Would it be considered a planchet error or defective planchet?

It left the mint round, someone hit it with something flattening out the edge of the coin. Look at the word AMERICA on the reverse. The letters were also affected when it took that hit. It is post strike damage, a spender. It never left the mint in that condition.

It may have been pressed into the coin with a vise and the metal raised higher than the rim. With the hint of the reeds, it screams, altered! Also the other damage to the coin assures me that is was altered. (someone trying to create the look of an error and failed. Thus why it was spent, and put back into circulation when they realized it didn't look like an error coin. What do you do with a coin like that they thought? Spend it and get his money back for it.

Nice image of the damaged area with "reeding". Like others said, probably applied with the redding from another coin and a hammer.
Remember that the collar die that is responsible for the reeding is curved and would not be able to apply reeding to a straight surface.
