looks like a die crack, but, who knows.

 

I think it;s a die break or die gouge. I'm not sure it could be a new variety double die anythings possible on these statehood quarters later. I would do some research on that coin and, do keep it.

Now I found 2 roll with the 6claw showing & a Arizona & 2008 cents roll also!
I guess my weekend if full now

 

Speaking of die cracks, anyone seen of/heard of obverse die cracks on 2008D AZ quarters?

Here a AZ 2008 that has a extra ear & ma doubling on rev

 

I looked and my P Alaska quarter also has the same feature....the extended material between the 4th and 5th claw. Whatever it is, it's not part of the original design. Weird!

I think that 1/2 of the Philly Alaska minted have the die crack. I think finding one with out maybe the one to keep
