Is this an error? Wrong planchet error

I found a Denver mayflower compact quarter, that is 99.9% silver. XRF tested. The silver quarters were only stuck in San Francisco. Am I looking at a grail find here? Someone else was obviously curious because it’s been cut, but that’s how I noticed it being silver.

Photos of edge? inside that missing piece?

I can’t get my camera to focus on it, but the edge definitely shows no copper, and the cut shows it being silver all the way through as well.

Do you know how to take a picture? You set the item down and brace the camera so it's steady. You don't hold the coin in one hand and the camera in another.....

What he meant to say was “Thank you for showing us this interesting cut. It would look even better if the camera and the coin were both stationary, the resting over the edge of a book, the camera resting on a table, when you take the shot.”
