A lamination error is when a fragment of metal is peeled of the surface of the coin. This occurs when dirt or another substance is stuck in the metal strip used for blanks and is stuck in the metal strip as it is rolled out to the standards of its use.look closely at the letter ( U ) in the word (Quarter). Are there anymore quarters like this one with the same error or is this a lucky find?
Grease, or another obstruction of some sort, most likely caused the problem you are seeing with the "U" in qUarter. Minor error. Worth more as "W" anyway.
