I agree with circulation damage from a hit.
Whatever the cause, it is not an error.

@Japanga - Appears to be the results of circulation hits. As you say .."this coin will make a great addition to my collection".

I'm thinking a well placed hit from PMD.

Looks like it could be from the same chipped die. Cool.

To CCF, Coin-toss! With a second example being found, I agree that it's a Die Chip.

Thanks for sharing the second example Cointoss.

It's definitely an "issue" with the die, whether a die dent, die chip, or die gouge.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

Coin-toss! That is a pretty cool find. Sometimes that is all it takes to disprove first thoughts of things, time. This is one I will try to look out for now. If I had ran across this in the past, probably thought that it was a damaged coin too and tossed it....
