I bet someone bought two ears of corn at the market, and decided to make a video of it.
I agree with Conder101 - the nickel is stained, and the quarter looks like a partial obv. clad layer missing when struck.
AGREED
Nice coin Joe - and much much rarer than a planchet itself missing one of the outer layers.
Not for coins like that - but I just know there has to be one time when someone's blurry photos must have turned out to be a doubled die!
No offense, but that will be a waste of your time. It's not a Mint Error, and it's not a possible 'true error'

Nice minor filled die. Good eyes !
The die chip in Liberty is genuine. aka:"BIE' error The stain at the top is not an error.

And, in case there is any confusion from the posts, the Waffle Cancellation coins are Cancelled IN the Mint - that's why they're considered...
First impression it looks like a die chip..... ....but I think it's a copper plating bubble
I'm not aware of any coin being struck thru cloth on both sides. The Mercury Dime in the OP's first photo has been wire brushed.
Your quarter has been 'stained' by some liquid; it didn't leave the Mint like that. What you see occurred to if after it was in circulation. The...
Nice example of a major ragged end clipped planchet. (aka: 'struck on a major defective planchet')
