That is due to the reeds of another coin hitting this one and leaving little dents. 
 

This is a prime example of when a microscope “creates” something out of nothing. Put away the microscope.

That’s the Ole Smokin Gun version..  sorry just a hit from the edge of another coin.

Damage from the reading of another coin.

 As stated, this is just a "milling mark", a type of bag mark from the reeded edge of another coin that was ground into the surface of this coin when it was squeezed into a bag with many other coins. They're abundantly common and not desirable.

Is that a silver coin or nickel material? Would of been a pretty hard hit if it is nickel, true or false?

It is an everyday ordinary quarter not silver and not nickel.   However, when coins are minted the reeding is very sharp, also the coin presses used in the mint today produce a high volume of coins.   Those coins are then dumped (practically shot into) a tote, many coins receive this type of damage before they even leave the mint.   Because nickels have no edge reeding they are less likely to receive such damage at the mint, but it is still possible for a nickel coin to become damaged with these reeding marks once they are mixed with other coins while in circulation.

Makes sense I can see how the reeding hit it so hard it entered at an angle going into the coin.

It’s 75/25 copper/nickel. This is not difficult. It usually happens a fraction of a second after it was struck.
