High heat, melted.
The Strike detail of Washington looks terrible which makes be think this is damage. Otherwise it looks like moved metal and copper core exposure like a delamination. There is damage on both sides, so I say someone abused this quarter.
It's like this, only a coin.

It has been damaged after it left the mint. In other words, it has post-mint damage (PMD). It is still worth a quarter though.
