Looks like someone was building a full Lincoln cent collection with every coin off-center andis now liquidating it..
The the weight range for a clad quarter including tolerance is 5.443 grams to 5.897 grams. Your coin is well within that range.

The lighting may be throwing me off, is the anomaly at the ER raised or incuse? The lighting gives me the impression it is raised.
Sorry but it is fake. Vampire hub. You also say the neodysium magnet slides right off. It shouldn't it should be a slow slide off. It also has...
