Hello all, I have had some interesting looking coins roll hunting as of late. Including this 2008 D Arizona quarter. I could only find this error on Philadelphia coins so I'm a little hesitant to post without verifying here. It also has some weird coloration, I'm guessing that is just PMD. What do you all think? I really appreciate all the help lately. I try to investigate as much as possible before laying it out here.
I mentioned having a lot of odd coins lately, would it be better to post all 5 in one post or should I post the others separately after doing some research? Anyway here are the Arizona pics. Thanks again.

First off please post your 5 coins into 5 different topics, it will make it easier to discuss each coin.
And second, trying to do some of your own research, is very helpful.
Now onto your Arizona (My home state)
I have heard of these quarters having an extra leaf (or was it a cactus arm or pad?) I'll have to research that too.
But can you post up an image (close-up) of where you see the extra leaf? If I remember correctly it is right under the Saguaro cactus

As requested here are more pics. First here is a comparison of another coin with no error and the one I recently found. Semi close up.


Then here are some other close ups. There are two pics that show what I think/thought was an error and then one close up of another 2008 with no error. And you are right about the type of cactus. I have lived in ca my whole life and been to Arizona once and holy heck is it hot there. Way hotter than ca at the time. Thanks @dearborn for the help. Also for the possible clad issue I'm more so talking about the lines you can kind of see if that helps. I definitely try to research prior. It would be annoying if people just came here right away vs looking into it first. Super lazy. I like that everyone here I have dealt with is super nice but also very much encourage newbie's to do their own research first. Thanks again

The "extra leaf" is a die chip.

It is a fairly common occurrence on the AZ quarter.

I have several of them.

You bet, I find it much easier to help out the folks here if they also do a tiny bit of research themselves, whether they be right or wrong, it helps. It also shows that the person who presents a coin actually want to learn about it, instead of just sapping out information for free.

and I'm glad I cold be of assistance.

P.S.
It ain't that hot here A few years ago it was 122 degrees and I was out doing yard work.. lol
