2008 Arizona quarter with possible die crack on the reverse side. I think this is what I’m noticing.

Looks like a die crack. You have discovered the “Arizona Needle” Variety. Someone stretched a die crack into a “speared bison” nickel and a “wounded eagle “ Sacajawea dollar. Why not the the cactus needle Variety?
Neat, little to no premium most likely.

Those dies make a lot of quarters and do crack and when they crack you have something like the OP’s pic.
It does look like a die crack... minor, but interesting. No major numismatic value, but I would keep a coin like that. Educational value/training aid. Cheers, RickO
I finally found the extra cactus with the die crack. And slight off alignment also. Cool find .
@Timbobb
Nice find on the extra cactus, been on the look out for one of them!

Thanks. I had to rub my eyes for a min. To make sure my mind wasn’t playing tricks on me. Ive found 2 Arizona needles. This is my first find of the cactus needle. I will definitely put this in a 2x2 flip.
