Obverse: All the design is present including the rims. Unstruck planchet is visible over "United." the edge at this point shows no reeding but the rim drops down creating a partial collar around the rest of the edge. Reverse: The rim is missing on the right side which is opposite the right side of the obverse. The left side has a doubled rim. The edge here has no reeds. Thanks!
Photos of the full coin would be helpful to discern what error your coin may have. I find it quite interesting that someone with a distinctive numismatic history can not identify a common error coin.
I don't see any evidence of a second strike in the design details, but I imagine this being a partial collar strike of a coin already broadstruck. Can't wait for @Insider 's explanation.
Partial or tilted collar . Why? Reeding still left on the rim . Which mean it didn't make it all the way out of the collar, when it was struck .... It would have made it out of the collar, it would be a Broadstrike ...

I should think that anyone who claims to be knowledgeable about error coins could explain what to call this error and how it happened with the images I posted. BTW, I appreciate your next sentence that implies I'm some kind of error coin expert when I don't pretend to be and have never claimed to be. "I find it quite interesting that someone with a distinctive numismatic history can not identify a common error coin." [FYI, we are having a disagreement at work and I posted this coin to hear from the error guys. I find it interesting that you claim this is a common error and I have not seen one like this before. Curious, what do you call it?] ToughCOINS, posted: "I don't see any evidence of a second strike in the design details, but I imagine this being a partial collar strike of a coin already broadstruck.

Looks like the planchet was mis-fed into the vertical collar; (Shular Press) with the partial reeding on the edge, it's a tilted partial collar strike to me, although the 'blank' portion and appearance would say 'broadstruck' to some. It's got a rim bruise/ding from it being jammed in a coin counter/roller, after the coin was struck.
THANK YOU! I thought it was a broad strike w/a partial collar. But I guess if the entire coin were in the collar the planchet would not be able to spread out. The coin IS larger (24.71 - 25.10) than a normal quarter (24,13 - 24.25). Others thought we should put "partial collar" on the label. Now, I'm going with tilted partial collar for the label.
I believe he provided adequate photos. He also provided an extensive explanation of what he was observing which should serve to help identify the error. I believe photos can many times be more deceiving to the eye.

Those are some great detailed photos @Insider And I have to say much larger in detail than your usual. I thought the photos were adequate. But in defense of @alurid Full size photo's are 99% of the evaluation. They always have been, it helps the newbie, the one that has been reading for months and even years. See what is most important about an error or variety, that is the whole coin. Yes, even the opposite rim. Glad we got your attention, and welcome to the "dark side" of Modern coins. I always appreciate your attentions to detail. Not only that but your intention as an educator.
I agree. However, I cannot take full images of a coin larger than a nickel and get it in focus. Additionally, it take too much time to have one made, emailed to me, and then copied so I can upload it. So, if I don't feel it necessary for most of my posts, I won't bother.
