Do anybody know anything about this coin

I'm sorry, I don't know too much about errors, but I think this is called a greased die error, and occurs when grease fills the die in which the coins are struck. From what I know, they are common and not worth much unless very large portions of details are missing, or if portions of detail are missing that makes the coin attractive in some way. I hope this helps!

I thought I had something lol...but thanks anyway for the info, cause I had no clue about it!

Oh heck it is worth at the very least 10 bucks or more...

Oh really? I was gonna just throw it in the kids bank. But I guess I'll just put it up. Thanks a lot!!

If I've never seen something strange like that on a coin, my first and only thought would be to keep it. How many quarters have you seen in your life, probably thousands. How many quarters have you seen like the one you have? 1, maaaaybe 2 or 3. Keep it, save it, cherish the faulty die used on it.

It is from a grease filled die, and the condition it is in makes it worth 25 cents. Good eye though.
