Looks like a crappy attempt at someone who works in a small foundry that tried making a quarter in a sand mold but didn't succeed. Got a weight on it? Just a guess...
EDIT - or heated to starting to melt?

Post mint damage ( PMD). How? Why? Maybe heat or chemical exposure. There are a million ways PMD happens. This coin did not leave the mint looking this way. The rims are a dead giveaway. Not every coin is an error coin, sorry. Keep searching!  |

With the new 2021 quarters that just came out and my boyfriend getting surgery in California I asked for him to bring back a few rolls of quarters from the bank there to bring back here to PA for me and this was in the roll. I have never seen this type of error before on both sides this bad if someone went through all the bull to try and pull that off then I really dont think they would just put it back in circulation like that. and give me a second on the weight, i'll do that now

Various types of welders and torches can definitely reach temperatures that will melt/deform copper-nickel.

Just doesn't look quite like any other heat-damaged coin I've seen.  to the CCF! |

There are two things that can happen to a coin, an error while being struck or one of countless ways a coin
can be damaged afterwords. As that is not an error, that leaves damage, even if you don't know how it happened.

Absolutely not an error. My bet is that it had some interaction with a soldering iron and some solder.
In any case, it definitely is not a mint error.

What the weight? Looks like someone solder it down a bunch. If so it should be over weight.

Hi, I may be wrong, but looking at the 4th pic down (obverse), diagonally across the coin - it almost looks like the imprint of a dime (reverse of dime)?
