Looks more like a minor die chip between the claws.

A die chip will create infinite coins like this before it's fixed through polishing or retirement
Rest in Peace

There are a lot better things out there to find. When I first started collecting, I made a binder with stuff I found and it was getting large. Now I look back at this collection and realize, I wasted 4 cents on each coin in that binder on 2X2s. So keep looking there are a lot more coins that are more interesting that die chips.

In my time roll hunting, I find it is just a bit harder for me to find an Alaska quarter that does NOT have at least one die chip between the claws. It seems to be an area prone to chipping.

Just this past weekend I got my first Alaska quarters (3) 2 have the chips and 1 is actually okay at least in that area, haven't checked out the rest of the coin yet. They sure are pretty though.

I don't find much of anything either (but I am fairly new so I don't know a lot yet) so I like whatever I can find, identify and confirm through this great forum

Good Luck !!
