I've been holding on to this Ugly quarter for a long time. I really don't know why but the fact it's very different. It looks like a rusty pewter color. The only shine to it is the rim. You can see the copper. Was this done at the mint or after?
Weird quarter
It happens! :^)
I’m thinking that there is enough “silver” on the edge to think that it’s an environmental/chemical discoloration and not missing the cupronickel on both sides. The coin would be a bit lighter in weight if that was the case. And note the banding coloration still present on the edge view.

Environmental damage.
