Welcome to the forum, looks like a dryer coin.   Coins get stuck against the drum of a clothes dryer and that can cause what you see here.   Other possible causes are intentional damage to the rev and the rim may have been spooned.   You can google spooned coins for an in-depth explanation and some comparison photos.   But my money is on a dryer coin.

Hello and welcome to the forum!

I would say you have a dryer coin that got stuck in a spot where the reverse was jammed causing that reverse damage but the edge was able to spin wiping out the reeded edge and make the edge a little wider with some additional heat exposure overall as well which would explain the darker coloration on the reverse.

This coin has a weight of 5.3-5.4

A regular weighing no more than 5.7 I believe.

Nominal weight for a clad quarter is 5.67g with a tolerance of +/- .227g. (5.897g - 5.443g). For the amount of wear and tear that the coin has seen, it wouldn't surprise me if it was under tolerance slightly due to metal loss.

Don't quote me on that but that's what my scale said

Get a new scale, one that reads to at least two decimal places.
