There are a few explanations (if this truly is a mint error)

The first and most valuable would be a quarter struck on a nickel blank, such a coin would be worth quite a bit of money.

The second most valuable would be a coin that was a clipped planchet (blank) such a coin has a cut on it, but as this can be done after minting so it is best to see a coin dealer about this.

But, it is always possible this wasn't done at the mint, but was done afterwards. So you need to see a reputable coin dealer to get it evaluated in person.

There's no such coin as a Jefferson quarter. Jefferson is on the nickel. If you have a quarter the portrait shows George Washington and the coin is worth about 0.18 times the current price of silver.

That was a transitional year for the coin's composition. If you have a silver quarter, it's worth up to about $4. If you have one made of nickel, it's worth face value only. A coin made of silver will not be attracted to a magnet, but the nickel ones will stick.
