2018-P quarter mint error?

Need opinions on whether or not this is a third claw on the birds left leg.

Have you compared it to others of the same design? ~ Chris

 

What I kind find on the internet but they are mostly D's and S's I only found one P and couldn't zoom in to see it clearly.

 

P, D and S should all be the exact same design.

 

You didn't post full sized photos of both sides showing the entire coin. I can't tell what I'm looking at other than a birds legs and feet.

 

If that is the case then it has 4 claws as the D and S I looked at had 3 with two in front and the third was to the side.

 

Here is a photo of the reverse.

 

Now that looks normal to me.

 

I think I see what you are asking about. It looks like it is from a small die break or die gouge between the birds claws. Our modern coin dies seems to get lots of this type damage. I suppose it is because they have to produce a lot of coins now days.
