I think the cladding was removed by acid.

I don't think it's acid dipped , it is the same diameter as a regular quarter and the surface isn't pitted up , what's the chances that the clad is missing on both sides

Absolutely was soaked in acid or some other reactive solution that dissolved the clad layers. I used to soak coins in Nitric acid in the college chem lab back in the day. Yours is a classic example

From the pictures it’s pretty obvious that the surface is pitted
