This could happen if two blank planchets got into the press together, causing on to get stamped with only the heads side, and the other to get stamped with only the tails side. This is a relatively rare error, and could be worth $50 to $100 or more. This could also be a normal quarter that somebody has altered. If it weighs significantly less than 5.67 grams, then I would say that it has been altered and has no added value.
This type of error of misstruck coins is called 'Brockage'. A Lincoln penny with this error is valued at $35.00
August 7, 2009 The coin you have described seems to be a "blank planchet". If it has a raised rim but no other details it is valued at $5. If there is no rim it is valued at $10.
No, it's not possible that a double-headed quarter with two such diverse dates could be a legitimate Mint error. Dies are destroyed, if not worn out through usage, by the end of the year in which they are used. The coin in question is almost certainly a novelty or magician's coin.
If the "penny side" is copper-colored, then it is probably a magician's coin manufactured from a quarter and a cent, in which case it has no collector's value. On the other hand, if it has a cent reverse where the quarter reverse should be, it may be a legitimate error coin. This determination and evaluation should be made by a reputable dealer in error coins.
Quarter to 6 o'clock is 5:45. Quarter to means 15 until the next hour. 15 is a quarter of 60. The other way of looking at is 45 minutes of the current hour have passed and there is a quarter left until the next.
Chances are it is worth something. The question though is, was it a nickel struck on a quarter blank? Or was the nickel simply struck off-center? If it was struck on a quarter blank, the edge will have both redish brown and white. If it was struck on a nickel blank it will be a solid color. The best thing to do is take it in to several coin shops and get different opinions on what its worth. It is hard to give values for error coins sight unseen. But some coin dealers specialize in errors while others use them simply for curiosities.
A 1984 nickel with one side stamped with Jefferson and the other side blank is likely a novelty coin created after minting. It does not hold any numismatic value to collectors and is worth face value, which is 5 cents.
There are no 3 headed quarters minted by the U.S. Mint.
Your off-center error cent will be worth $2 to $10, depending on how much off-center it is and how nice of condition it's in.

Such a coin would have to be seen to determine its value. I suggest you take it to a coin shop and ask them to look at it for you.

it is in the blank right next to the other blank blank

There shouldn't be any other dates stamped on your half dollar. Only the date 1969.
A quarter and a nickel. The quarter is the coin that's not a nickel!
