Just found this in a fresh roll of new American Memorial National Park Quarters. Coin hasn't been on the street yet.
(center coin) Improperly annealed?
Reckless faith in the dollar's strength is reckless. Tariff proposals have demonstrated this.

It certainly appears to have had a process problem....either improper annealing or skipped the cleaning process. Cheers, RickO
Based on your photos, yes, it looks like
it's been struck on a mis-annealed planchet.
Thanks for showing next to a normal quarter -
easier and better to see the comparison side
by side, instead of guessing if the lighting is off,
etc.
Looks Like it.
Its a W so better then mine
Best place to buy !

Error West Point, nice @derryb!
What does the edge look like? If it looks like a normally struck new coin, then it's likely to be a misannealed planchet. If it has the same coloration as the obverse/reverse, then it is environmental damage.
Based on the short length of time since it was issued, I also think you have a misannealed planchet error, but the edge will confirm it
Yes it does.
Yep. Looks like an oxygen leak which creates the "burnt" appearance.
Cool find @derryb !!!
Congratulations !!
Cool
So, $65 grading fee for modern mint error?
Seems kinda steep, especially since it requires it's own submission form with all the additional costs of a submission.
