Quarter error? Possible value? (w pics)

Hello coin folk! I’m a card collector and know nothing of coins outside of their face value 🙂. So my father in law found this in his change cup; it’s missing the date on the front and some lettering above the eagle on back. He took it to a local coin shop where they offered him 100$ for it on the spot. Apparently the mold was cracked when minting And this is the result (per local coin shop). My Father in law was curious if something like this could be worth substantially more than 100$? I searched the forum to see if there was perhaps an existing thread, but was unable to locate one. If there is could someone please link for me to read up? TIA, cool coins everybody! I’ve enjoyed going through some threads here! 😁

Interesting location for a cud. As to value, perhaps the error specialists could chime in.
Great cud!
Likely value $50-$100.
Fantastic change find.
Similar pieces have sold on eBay for $40-$80, with one apparent outlier at $150. $100 would appear to be more than fair for an offer.
@Rofles
$100 from a brick and mortal coin shop (with all their overhead) was a great offer. Take it back and sell and hopefully it doesn’t go down.
If that cud was in a different location so the date showed it might have been worth more.
Based on the blurry pics the quarter was probably minted at Philly.
Also, the “mold” is called a “die.”

Nice die break CUD worth about $100
An actual error. Wow!
Very nice error.. Great find.
Nice find! Yes, you came to the right place. Love 'dem errors.
The Reverse looks as if it has a tad of Cameo?
It could be a Proof coin?

--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.Great error, and from circulation no less.
If he is inclined to sell, take that $100 and run.
Great find.
Very interesting error find....and in the wild no less. I would say $100 is a fair offer....Thanks for showing us...Cheers, RickO
Thx everyone! I’ll let him know! Here’s some clearer photos:
