There is some damage on the reverse rims,
especially on the lower half of the coin.
I'd guess that it's the result of this coin, and
another normal coin, possibly going thru
a counting/rolling machine, and the extra
thickness caused the scrapes and flatness
you see on it.

Was that from a mint set? Or a circulation find? Would sure stand out if in change.... Cheers, RickO
Was in a large group of Errors I bought. Not an easy coin to figure value on. Can't find any sales of such.
Think it may have come from a bag because I have more than one
More than one?? That is surprising...Perhaps it was a thin strip the planchets came from and then ended up in the same run.... Just conjecture on my part.... Cheers, RickO
How many do you have? A thin strip should produce multiple planchets with the same error.

I would say that the quarter is from the end of the strip, because the thinness is along one side.

Wow...that's different!
On rolled thin planchet
I can't tell from the photos - are those pre-strike planchet striations on the reverse, or post-strike damage?

My bad, only 2 1964-D, 3 1964, and a 1954-D
also have thin quarter and kennedy and a ton of cents
I have one also. It weighs 1.6 grams. Along with a Washington weighing 4.7 grams.
I hope you can recoup the loss of silver value

@Smittys...Wow... you must be the skinny coin king.... Cheers, RickO
