It looks almost like a copper flake was pressed into the steps when the coin was struck. I don't think it's die cracks as the anomaly's edges seem too smooth and regular to me, but I've been wrong before. A copper flake seems like it would spread evenly and be slightly raised as well. It's like a strike though with the material imbedded in the coin.
I really like it!

 Imbedded copper flake makes since. Yokozuna's explanation covered about everything. |

Very curious. I'd love to see the coin in-hand (but that's not gonna happen). Could be a retained copper flake as described above.

Can't quite tell from the pics but would agree that it looks like a retained struck through foil. The other possibility, is an RIDB, it looks similar to some listed.

 RIDB was my first gut impression. Retained Interior Die Break. But flake made sense. I think RIDB is the best yet. |

 To elaborate. Actually didn't know what it was called until makecents mentioned RIDB. |

My first thought was a glob of clear hot glue, but maybe not. The green image shows a rise and fall of each anomaly Maybe a gouge in the die? Is there anything on the obverse that could account for this, from a clash or something?

Dearborn I looked at the obverse side carefully in all magnifications and light. There isn't anything showing there that would indicate it.

I've Seen these before. If they are attached firmly I would think a Retained Interior Die Break. If it is loose, then it could be a struck through debris. But I'm thinking a RIDB. It maybe listed? Cuds on coins site? |

It is solid on the coin. It is hard to get a good photo at that angle. Looking at the edge of the raised sides, there are no cracks or areas that are raised. Basically I couldn't knock it off the coin if I tried.

Do you have the weight of this coin?
IMHO it is some type of planchet flaw before being plated with copper.
(Especially since the OP says it's solidly attached.)

Similar to this, but the die crack went around the outside edge of the die break.  On this one the die just continues to chip off die, thus the affected area continues to be enlarged. But I have seen on like this example before. (Probably from the same die. It was not a big thing. Just die events that cause these. They were not like that on the first strikes of the die. Developed with continued usage. (Probably caused by a die clash event) |
