Coins like this really need to be seen for an accurate assessment, mostly to determine why one side is missing? take it to a coin dealer, it's likely been altered.
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.
25¢ It's an ordinary circulation coin struck in Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Mint did not start using the P mint mark on quarters until 1980. Check your change for any other quarters dated before 1980. They'll either have a D for Denver, or a blank.
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.

Not officially. However, the Mint has struck coins for other countries over the years. There have been many instances where a blank (technically called a "planchet") for a foreign coin accidentally got mixed in with blanks for U.S. coins and was struck with an American design, resulting in a planchet error.
The value of a quarter with one side stamped heads and the other side blank would be 25 cents in terms of its monetary value in the United States. The design on the coin does not affect its face value or purchasing power. This type of coin may have been altered or misprinted, but as long as it is recognized as legal tender, it can be used for transactions at its full 25-cent value.
The United States, Great Britain, Spain, and Russia claimed the Oregon territory, in other words, the Oregon Country.
25 cents, it is in common circulation. The P means it was struck at the Philidelphia mint which strikes a lot of the coins intended for circulation. It is not struck in any precious metals and isn't worth more than any other quarter you'd randomly find in your pocket change.
If it's normal then it's no different from the other 2.1 billion quarters struck that year, so the answer is simply 25 cents.
They are right next to each other.
A quarter and a nickel. The quarter is the coin that's not a nickel!
No US quarters bearing the date of 1776 were struck. If you have a coin that is a quarter of some other currency, please post a new question including the country that the coin is from. If the date reads 1776-1976 and has a portrait of George Washington, then it's a common bicentennial quarter worth 25 cents.
