  1. Thanks for the new photo. The fact that the reeds are missing and the diameter is smaller confirms my thoughts that it is a dryer coin. This is not considered an error but damage to the coin.

    Suggest if you are going to look for errors, read up on what constitutes an error. Sandon has given you some websites plus this is one I use frequently.  error-ref.com.

  2. No need to apologize, everyone has to start somewhere. Suggest reading the top two posts in this column, there is a wealth of information there for beginners.

    Your coins weight is in spec so its not overweight. Would still like to see a clear photo of both sides. Also would you put this quarter on top of another quarter and see if the diameter is the same or is it smaller.

  3. Not an error of any kind.An error can only occur during the striking of
    the coin and that could not have happened at that time.
    That looks like there is some sort of glue like substance on the surface.   
    Try soaking it in pure acetone for about 24 hours and see if it disappears.
