    That is what occurs when you place a coin on a railroad track and allow a train to pass over it.

    Not a mint error of any kind.

    Wait! Weight! From the edge picture it may be silver.
    Clad quarter weighs 5.67 grams
    Silver quarter weighs 6.25 grams

    The elongation of the coin does seem to show that it was squeezed in a lateral motion. The marks on the coin suggest it was done on a well used rail.
    I would claim it as a Railroad token.
