In my opinion it is neither a real error nor a fake. If you do a web search for brockage images you'll see they appear quite different from yours. Brockage is when the coin gets stuck in the die and suffers multiple strikes. This specimen seems to have heavy damage or wear, not much else.

Brockage 1985 Washington quarter error
Hi i am trying to find out if this coin is a real error coin or a fake. Ive taken it to several coin dealers locally and they have all said it is not fake but i dont know for sure. It has a weird yellow patina on obverse. SO from the research ive done, this is an in-collar first strike (i think) brockage of the reverse design on the obverse face. Both images are complete on obverse. Reverse strike is normal strike
thank you for your help!
