All 1988 quarters should have a mint mark next to the tail of Washington's wig - P for Philadelphia, D for Denver; or S for San Francisco on proof coins.

If there isn't a mint mark you could have a filled-die error where some crud got into the little recess in the die that forms the D or P, or someone could have altered the coin. Use a strong magnifier to see if there's evidence of a mint mark next to the wig. If it looks absolutely flat, no evidence of alteration, your best bet would be to have it examined in person by a professional dealer or appraiser who specializes in error coins. They'd have the high-quality equipment needed to make a better evaluation.
