quarter damaged during striking

I traded a bunch of collectibles with a guy that used to own a coin store and now does on line auctions. I just thought I would post pics of one of the items I got. You can see when the coin was struck there was something on the planchet that shouldn't have been there. For obvious reasons I can't post both sides. Is there anyone else on this site who really like error coins?

Very nice strike through with provinance, don’t try to remove the coin, keep everything as is.

Personally, I would have guessed struck through grease, but scrap metal it is.
