It may be a counterfeit seated quarter.
I found a counterfeit seated half last year
The back of it does have a left facing head I can tell now

Mine has a more pointy nose
Exactly the back has a head not an egale. I it is a penny am trying to date it could be 1820s
Have you looked at it with a loupe? I was able to get a date from a 1876 shield nickel, but only with it magnified. I could only see the upper half of the last two numbers, which luckily for me was all I needed.

try a light coating of oil, sometimes it makes the date stand out better
Why kind of oil I herd Vaseline might work

I used Crisco vegetable oil, only because I knew my coin wasnt worth a thing except to me. I soaked it in the oil for a few hours and it let me get a couple crusty pieces I thought were part of the coin off. You could see the date when you couldnt see anything before. It was faint, but it was there. Hope it works for you. Dont do it if you remotely think it has some value. I honestly dont know what it does to coins.
This only has value to me me no one will want it in this. Condition.
