1977 Quarter, possible error?

I need some help for this coin. It's a 1977 (I can't tell if it has a mint or not) quarter that looks like it has cracks, cuds, and misaligned strike (hope the terminology is correct). At first I thought it was just damaged, but the crack on the obverse doesn't disfigure the "y" in "Liberty." The pics aren't the best, and I can post new ones if needed. Thank you in advance for any advice given!

Some of it appears to be PMD, but to be honest, if there is a Mint error hidden somewhere behind all that crud, it's not worth any more than face value.

That looks like it was dipped in acid or was in an acidic environment for awhile.

 

Severely gouged and dinged. Not a mint error. Spend it.

 

I agree with you this time, and you even said it nicely!

 

Oh, I'm so glad I didn't upset you! That's all I live for.

Thanks!
