A customer came in with this and I can't figure out how this happened. It is a 1937 quarter which is regular weight. It has on the reverse a raised area and an impression on the base of a Buffalo Nickel showing "FIVE CENTS". The raised area in connected to the planchet and is not separated from the rest of the planchet.

It appears to be slightly oblong, however, may be the display on my lap top.
Subscribing for more info.
To me it has the look of a "vice job".
I think perhaps someone pressed a Buffalo nickel reverse into some piece of metal, and then that piece of metal was pressed into the quarter.
That is a strange one.

If it's not legit it would have to be like Dan Carr is suggesting as the "Five Cents" on this coin is not backwards. I'm no expert at this kinda stuff but this one is interesting.
May I ask where you acquired this piece?

It appears that a counterfeit rev. die for Buffalo Nickels
was pressed into the reverse of the Quarter.
For some reason, only the 'one cent', and a few other small
areas of the NG Die hit the surface of the coin - and the balance
of that NG Die just pressed into the reverse, leaving the 'cut'
circular marks.
Not sure that's exactly how it was made, but I am certain, without
any doubt, that it's not a real mint error coin......Sorry.........
