This coin appears to be minted on a delaminated planchet. You should search for a coin error dealer on the internet. If it truly is SILVER (if it has a S mint mark), instead of the normal nickel finish (P or D mint marks), it is probably worth quite a lot of money. The only SILVER state quarters are Proof, and they go thru many inspections before leaving the Mint.

∙ 16y agoYes. What you have is called a lamination error. The outer cupronickel* cladding did not bond properly to the copper core. It could have fallen apart at any time, either before the coin was struck or after leaving the mint. Either way it would retail for about $10.
(*) The outer layers of modern coins are an alloy of nickel and copper. Silver was removed from circulation coins in 1965.
