What kind of error is this and how much would you say it is worth?
It seems like the reverse side of the coin has some sort of error on the offcenter part. Kinda looks like a brockage.
Thanks!

    Offcenter on a damaged planchet and struck into either another planchet or some scrap.
    The planchet was likely damaged before the strike since there is no damage to the struck portion. It's in such bad shape maybe it caused the misfeed.
    Silver quarter? Looks that way from the images but hard to tell.
    Not sure on today's values. Somewhere between $50-150 is my WAG.

    That quarter had a very hard time.

    Cool error!

    very unique with the blank planchet.

    Let' get erroroncoins' opinion.

    Governments can print currency. Only the people can print faith in it — and they’re running low on ink.

    Interesting error. Unsure if the reverse has a brockage or indent. Hope to hear more from experts.

    off center strike with indent. Looks damaged though. @ErrorsOnCoins what you say??

    Yes, a very nice error that unfortunately got damaged after the fact.

    What caused the two pushed-up indents on the edge of the obverse? Feed fingers?

    Also, while I am not questioning the authenticity, why does the curved outer edge of the partial indent have a raised lip? I should expect it to be flat.

    I see that effect on other denomination double strikes, where
    the uniface side has a outer 'lip', for lack of a better term.

    I like this a lot. My favorite series. If I am ever to get into error collecting it will probably be with coins like this as an addendum to my collection.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Nice find.... Although I do not collect errors, I find them intriguing and interesting to determine how they occurred. Cheers, RickO

    Just a WAG. I'm no expert on Mint errors but offhand I think that might be a future "Buying Error", for someone .

    Cool purchase. Is that a bezel for a chain, and was there a melt involved?
    Just wondering !
