If he's referring to the bottom of the devices on QUARTER DOLLAR then that appears to be Die Deterioration. |

Is it the "U-N" and "Q-U-A-R" section on the reverse that's got your interest?

Looks like a misaligned die. Found something similar in one of my 2020 W quarters recently too.

25 cents, cost about $35 to get it slabbed, still worth 25 cents.

just checked on it again and the words united, quarter, and dollar the top part of "UN" and the bottom part of "quarter" and "DLLAR" are popping out as if it was part of the rim. Why is it like that and is it normal?

Die Deterioration can cause doubling that makes it appear as if devices are becoming a part of the rim, especially on lettering on the outside edge of the coin. As coins are struck by the die, the devices stretch towards the outer edge of the die. https://www.errorvariety.com/OFD/DDD.html this is a good reference but you can find many more examples by googling the term. Machine Doubling can also give this effect, but not necessarily concentric towards the outside edge of the coin. "AMERICA" presents clear Machine Doubling particularly on the inside loop of the R and the back side of the C. Deterioration doubling is most evidently seen on "QUA" of "QUARTER", as well as "UN" of "UNITED". There is also evidence of a slightly misaligned die due to the "railroading" on the right side of the coin, and thinning on the opposite side. this is again a normal part of the minting process. If you disagree with the opinions on here you're more than welcome to send it in to get attributed but I do not believe you will get an answer that's any different that's been given so far.
