I'm thinking that it is worn - from being an ender inside a roll of other quarters. See that circular scratch around the surface of the coin? That is caused by an automated coin rolling machine. The material that was rolled up and under the the rolling paper put pressure on the coin and wore it down. So, I'm guessing that this roll of quarters was assembled a while ago and through movement rubbed the design down. the Bicentennials are a favorite one to save and may have been rolled up long ago.
