Weight and diameter indicate it's struck on a quarter planchet.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website

@ DBM. I read the Washington quarters are supposed to weigh 5.67 grams. Is there a margin of error associated with that? Also, the strike on the reverse is incredibly weak. It indicates something is wrong.

I agree with the others, looks like a normal worn quarter to me.
There is tolerance in planchet weights and remember circulation also removes weight. .09 grams is not a large difference. Based on other accounts, true quarter on dime stock errors weigh around 4.2 grams

definitely not struck on dime stock, the weight is what it should be for a quarter,
it is impossible for it to weigh almost 6 grams, and be a dime.

There is no way at 5.58 grams this is from stock meant for a Roosevelt dime. If it were you would not see all the design elements associated with a fully struck Washington quarter.

From a website concerning the 1970-D quarters that were struck on dime stock: "While a quarter dollar of this era should weigh 5.7 grams, these coins weigh just 4.2 grams."
