Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.
<< <i>Nice off center. The copper "blank" is a commonly found slug made to be used as a quarter in some vending machines. They can even be found with a reeded edge. >>
I'm not sure what happened on the reverse of the coin though, perhaps SeanQ will wander by and offer his expertise and opinion.

<< <i>The reverse of the quarter is uniface because it was struck with another planchet between it and the dies. >>
What he said. The coin was struck with the obverse die on one side and a planchet on the other. The other coin in the pair will have a normal reverse and an obverse with an indent missing the parts of the design on your coin. The quarter is still a $12-15 error or maybe slightly more (the higher the denomination the higher the value). Too bad you don't have the coin it was struck with.
