To me, that looks more like it was struck through a late stage die cap, but I am far from an expert in such matters.
I thought brockage strikes generally resulted in a normal face, and that same face mirrored and distorted on the opposing coin face?

Struck through a very late stage capped die comes to mind.

Thank you! Do you think this count is worth grading?

Prior to spending money on grading, I would want to hear an expert like Mike Diamond or Jon Sullivan confirm that it's a struck through die cap. There are many mint errors that can look similar. You could probably get an idea of value from Sullivan Numismatics.
Assuming it's a struck through die cap quarter, it looks like graded versions sell between $100-200. Again, I am not an expert, that was just a quick Google search of auction results. It could be way more or way less.

It was struck through a late-stage hammer (obverse) die cap that had experienced numerous shift-and-strike events against previous planchets. Here's an image of a similar specimen in which the correctly-facing incuse design elements are more easily seen.  Error coin writer and researcher.
