I found this coin today and immediately noticed there was some peeling on the coin. This coin is a 2008 Alaska State Quarter. Is there also something going on near the cheeks and face?

Hi Coinmev - looks normal, but the picture is too blurry. You may want to visit the forum here on photography for a few tips.

Good luck!

If the high points are affected then it might be wear on the coin. It if the cladding was falling away, then the color would be copper colored. I'm not seeing that on your coin.

I played with contrast looks like it could be a die chip on cheek with some peeling?

OK thank you, I will try to put up some better pictures today. The spot above the "In God We Trust" section seems like a micro layer was peeled off, the color beneath is the same as the outer coin. I also wanted to post another State Quarter that is lightly toned, has an extremely smooth obverse and has a barely distinguishable mint mark and certain letters are missing ( possibly a Grease Filled Die?). I am new to collecting and trying to learn as much as possible. Also, are there any premiums for MAD quarters? Thanks everyone.
