    I found this quarter today. It looks like a bulge from his neck. What kind of error would this be considered?
    Could it be worth much?

    Not an error. Value is $.25 :thumb:

    As you can see from this image of the 2000 Mass. Proof, that bugle is in the design:

    I was referring to the bulge from his neck by the y in liberty

    I think they're referring to what I pointed out in the edited photo here:

    Yes, I know. So am I.

    It's called an adam's apple, common in males, especially ones who can not tell lie they did chop down the cherry tree.(j/k)

    It's apart of the design of the coin.

    If that shaded part pointed out that goes through the Y is raised, it is not part of the actual design of Washington's neck though. I think that's what they are pointing out, not the obvious part of his neck and adam's apple. ;)

    Yes it is raised and is not part of the design

    Is the reverse normal looking or does it look like it's pushed inward at the same location that would be on the obverse? If it is pushed inward, likely PMD. If not, then this would be an error but I don't think it would command much premium. Only some collectors would likely pay more than face for it.

    To me, it just looks like dirt or some sort of mark or stain.

    Yeah, that's why I asked the OP if it was indeed raised. Remember, pictures can be deceiving or not show what one sees in person. :)

    Thanks Rodeoclown. The back is normal. I appreciate the advice. By the way the spot is raised on the front not a stain or mark

    Looks to me like some kind of gas trapped under the cladding.
