New Error Found? Extra Claw Alaska Quarter
I was through my Alaska state quarters today, checking to see if I could find a variety that I had just heard about. The variety is located on the left claw of the bear (your right side), and is in the appearance of an extra chunk of metal in the claw. I have found what I think is the error. The photo is my first taken with my new USB plugable microscope, I have to say that it does work better on larger coins like the quarter. Let me know what you think on this quarter.

Looks like a chipped die, I can't imagine they would be any more than a minor curiosity. I don't think they are going to be like the high or low leaf Wisconsin varieties, those two leaves were actually in the die before the first coin was stuck. But having said all that, your microscope works great and you definitely have the "extra" claw variety.

You like you have one to me. Nice pictures. It seems you have that scope down. Try to find another picture on the web to double check. Maybe Cherry Pickers Guide.
