Time for me to get new glasses!
I'm gonna have to trust you that is a quarter.
The quarter
His side has a slice in it to haven't seen this in any others i looked at on line eather
The mark on the side of the body looks like PMD.
Keep searching & good luck!
Your coin does have a very slight misaligned die or off center reverse.
Not seeing anything unusual. The mark on the side of body is a ding, like @ifthevamzarockin said. As to hidden stuff, just normal circulation.
As you learn about the minting and die making process, you'll understand that that there are only a limited numbers of ways random marks can be caused by the mint and they are usually easy to identify (die chips, strike through, clashed dies, etc). You have none of those. But it's easy to pick up damage in circulation that would make an enthusiastic new collector think they found something.
If you're going to look for errors in change, you really owe it to yourself to learn the minting process. It takes some effort, but the more you know, the more time you'll have to look for real errors and less time you'll waste looking at PMD.

Post mint gouge
Typical pics on the forum.
Keep up the hunt, it takes thousands maybe millions of coins then you hit the jackpot.
After grading, authentication, shipping, insurance, auction and other fees you net a few dollars; maybe a few hundred dollars.
Don’t forget to pay your federal, state, and local taxes (if applicable.)
You are primarily doing this for the pure joy of collecting and the history of coins and not trying to make money, right?
Better odds at Vegas.

A very common twenty-five cent coin, fresh pulled from pocket change/seven years of heavy usage. It will never be anything more.
looks like a die break from the last "a" in Alaska all the way across the coin to the other rim just a little above the "m" in unum. You can clearly see that with just your naked eye! Right across the animals hind leg right where he's saying he sees something funny. It prob has been cracking for a while and peices chipping off and deforming the die and thats the random stuff your seeing in the feild next to the length of the die break. And you guys telling him he's seeing things. Wth?
With? Between the n and u in unum there's a crack meeting up with the first one I was talking about and another crack going through the entire word of Denali going through the left side of the mountains and coming back to the rim above the a in Alaska. It looks like its about to shatter. If you could get the pictures clearer I'm sure you would see alot more
first a in Alaska to the u in unum, before the d in Denali across the animals face to the m in unum. Lol still think its pmd or dipped in acid? That one guy said you would have better luck winning the lottery and you need to learn how coins are minted. I wonder if they even look at the pics or just randomly type bs?
You must have much better eyes, because I can’t see anything resembling the die cracks you reference. I see some design elements from the mountains and distant tree line. Also, the vertically oriented gouge/ding on the animal’s midsection, which is PMD.
I’m at a loss to understand why you’re saying it’s clear in the pics.
Here is a pic from PCGS Coin facts. Could the cracks you see be part of the design and just appear as something else due to the harsh lighting and blurry focus?

Agree.
Seven month old thread revived for no reason.
It's still PMD and worth 25 cents.
Looks like the Dall Sheep.
