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?

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.

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.
