All I see is tarnish and a fairly sharp strike. What do you feel is an error?

What I was asking about was the light indentation that appears to look like a double struck by Georges' forehead. The letters are not bothered at all and neither is the rim.

It may be an over polshing to cover a clash. In this case they wiped out a good area of field to remove the clash.
Quarter-Error.
Similar to Jarmar74's nickel.

Im sorry but you guys are probably not understanding what I was asking. This is slightly indented what I highlighed. Yet the letters and rim are not bothered. If I lay another quarter over that area it matches.

The red lines really take away from being able to see what you're trying to illustrate. But it appears, as Coop suggested, that it could be a clashed die, which is a common occurrence and in most cases (including yours) does not fetch a premium over the coin's regular value.

I didnt realize my first picture changed when I changed the picture and dowloaded it oops. The first picture looked like a die clash and I agree. But I wasnt specific on what I was asking about. Thats why I drew the red line in to show whats indented. I dont see how this would correlate with a die clash? Nothing matches up.

The polishing to cover up the clash removed more of the field. leaving a different looking field than normal. The clash outlines were removed leaving a deeper mark in the field which you see.
