It's RHODE Island. Says so right on the coin.

You need to accurately weigh the quarter and inspect it carefully. It may be plated (post mint damage) or have some other environmental damage (post mint damage). It could also be a true error coin and be quite valuable. Here is a thread that describes some error types that resemble your coin:

Good luck with the coin & wait for some of the experts here at CT to chime-in.

 

PMD, possibly a metal detecting coin.

They frequently look like that

 

I would agree with Treashunt. It is most probably environmental damage.

 

I have a 1778to2001 copper quarter what is it worth

 

It would be best to start a separate thread for your coin and include pictures of it.

 

I have the same quarter that appears to have the same "conditioning"

 

Environmental damage.

 

We see these a lot. There are so many in circulation. Environmental exposure toning damage.

Here are my examples of metal detected finds of clad an nickels which are both composed of Cupronickel..
