Hello I'm new to the hobby and believe I found an ellis island quarter with an error. It is a ring on the obverse side that matches the ring on the reverse side. Should I send this in? Thank you in advance!

The obverse of your coin has been damaged by a Coin Wrapping Machine.

Welcome!

Looks like damage from a Coin Wrapping Machine. Notice how the ring looks cut, with smeared/displaced metal? That didn't happen when the coin was struck. Not worth more than face.
