Re: an anyone tell me What happened to this 25. cent coin
Hard to say exactly unless you were there at the time. It looks like glue or some other substance is on it.
You could try soaking it acetone if you like. It won’t hurt the coin and may get rid of whatever it is.
Instead of three photos the same of the Obverse, one of the Reverse would have been better.

It looks like someone put glue on it.
Re:can anyone tell me What happened to this 25. cent coin
There is no Glue. the top of the head is chromed,the part whin the circle is void of chrome and the glob of materal next to the head appears to be a glob of chrome.

It looks like the design of the "D.G." and part of Regina is written on top of what looks like melted metal of some kind. This didn't happen at the mint, unless the planchets are chromed before the strike. If so, then the planchet had the chrome applied haphazardly and then was struck through the chrome mess.

As I stated, unless you were there when it happened, it is hard to say exactly how it happened.
It doesn’t really matter as damage is damage whether it be glue, chrome or anything else.

Re: an anyone tell me What happened to this 25. cent coin
Can you post a good clear photo of both the Obv & Rev on the same axis? On the Obv, the maple leaf would be at 6:00. In your photos above, it looks like the top of the coin is blackened , maybe from heat. Just want to see the exact mirror image of them, to see what on the Rev matches the Obv.

some king of chemicals?
air bubble between some layers of metals?
hard to tell, but hard to believe it came out of the mint like that
