What do you all think of this crazy error? On the reverse you can see a profile of Washington and part of the spelling of LIBERTY. The obverse has what might be the reverse of a Washington quarter???

Not an error. Typically called a "vise job" but based on your coin's appearance I'd say it was set down on cement and a quarter placed on top and then whacked with a hammer.
Not an error. Looks like a vise job which is why the obverse is damaged. In a real overstrike, the Liberty would not be reversed.
I see George Washington right here.
And he sees you
And the profile is backwards which means what....you guessed it vise job. Which is not the same as the "vice" mentioned upstream which means "moral depravity or corruption".

It's numismatic depravity.
man made ... not a real error

Barely worth 5 cents.
Perp used the incuse text on the outside of an ATB quarter to make a raised text—heating it first?
