    This quarter looks almost the same color as a cent. The weight is 5.4 grams. Have not been able to find anything that would let me know what is wrong with it.

    Your quarter has environmental damage.

    Yes to Environmental Damage
    I metal detect and have found hundreds of Clad Coins such as yours.. The elements, soil, dirt and sand can change the color

    A Missing clad layer mint error usually occurs just on one side only

    Here are 2 examples from my collection. The Reverse side of both coins look normal.
