Hi
Welcome to ct!

Imho, spend it. Unless you like it.
It’s normal weight 5.67g.

 

That coin weighs as it should for a clad quarter so it hasn't lost the nickel layer.
My guess is that it is post mint environmental damage, probably from being buried in the ground.

 

But it's in pristine condition as if it just cam out of the mint

 

Nothing..
Environmental Damage is correct. It is not a Mint Error of any kind.
I find these environmentally toned clad coins and even nickels everytime I go metal detecting. Yesterday I posted this picture -


Here are other finds of mine -

 

How about a image of the rim ...

 

Are you familiar with the Sheldon Scale for grading coins? "Pristine" is not a term that is used for grading.

This is what a coin might look like if it came directly from the Mint.

It could be improperly annealed .......
That's why I want a image, of the rim ...........

 

Take some photos of just the Quarter Both sides and the Third side. The edge. Your quarter could be Improperly annealed as Rick said.
Where did you get it roll hunting or in change?

 

There are 2 more just like it in one of the photos.

 

Do you want more pics

 

I believe I got Got it from change the gas station

 

Yes. It is still Environmental Damage.

 

+1 no doubt environmental.

 

Sorry. Your coin is just rusted. It happens.
The weight being correct means there's no missing clad layer. (It would weigh much less.) And the copper would be much shinier as in the photo post #7.
The rims being equally rusted means it's not improperly annealed. (The rim would appear clean.)
Just a quarter. There is a rare doubled die for this reverse, but again
yours is normal.

 

They know what they are talking about, there samiht. If only 1 person replied environmental damage, ok maybe he's not exactly correct. But when everyone comes back with the same answer, well then you have to take a look at yourself and your coin and ask, " why the hell did I take a picture of the coin up against my bare chest?!?!" Ewwww Lmao that's just twisted

 

Foo's gonna go out and try this metal detecting thing right now, today. YeeHaaw

 

@Elarssamiht ...I used the keywords "improperly annealed quarter" and searched all forums here on CoinTalk. I found a post by @Rick Stachowski from July 17, 2018, about 10 months ago, with an example of what your coin should look like ( I wanted to compare the edge ).

As a new member, this is how you can find answers to the questions you have about the coins you find. Your OP coin is not improperly annealed, just environmentally damaged, as attested to by previous posts in this thread.

Big TY to Rick for his previous post and all our CT experts...Spark

 

Environmental damaged so spend it.
