I feel like I've seen this quarter "error" before

Rattling my brain. I've see this before I swear. Was this some promotional thing maybe?

    Not an error, the coin is damaged.

    We'll never know why someone did this to the quarter,
    but as others have said, what you see was done to the
    coin after it left the Mint.

    Interesting that the 'indented rim damage' isn't uniform
    as far as distance apart.

    Probably done while bored sitting in Jury Duty, Prison, or just didn't have a Snickers?

    I remember, somewhat, that a similar tool was used to make the indents around the rim; but it was somewhat concave.
