BTW, this is not unique - you can find several just like it on ebay with the mark in the same place.
That seems to indicate something happened to the die.

If we do not have an answer now, you should definitely keep this and label it for future review.

Something around "..Somewhere between the Moon and...um... the Statue of Liberty"?

It does not seem to be a one-off

In anticipation of what I presume will be asked, here are closeups of the other 6 to compare...

No hot takes here, but a few questions.

Why are there so many similar coins on ebay? Unless all of the coins came from the same bulk lots, that would suggest more than one die pair is involved. If so, wouldn't that suggest a hub issue, rather than a working die issue?

What is the source of the coins? Are these (and the ebay examples) from Fulfillment Center rolls or from rolls obtained from random banks and their armored carrier suppliers? I could certainly see a large supply coins ending up at the Fulfillment Center from the same production run. (I'm thinking of the ATB Quarters where many of the Fulfillment Center rolls had the same horrendous Machine Doubling. Wasn't that the 2010-P Yosemite ATB?)

The obverse area next to the circular shape is fairly heavily disturbed, and looks like it had quite a bit of die polishing. Notice the seventh (next to last) detail photo, showing a linear area of disturbance from the "E" of AMERICA to the crown. The circle immediately adjoins that area. Now look at the corresponding area of the reverse die, which would be from the "R" of DOLLAR past the right side of the bottom of the torch to where the hand joins the torch. There is also a large area of disturbance. The exact match for the circle would appear to be the area immediately to the right of the bottom "vee" of the torch, which shows a much less well defined disturbance. Here's the question: Could it suggest that this die pair struck an object in this area, affecting both dies? Maybe a finger feeder? Wouldn't a finger feeder be aluminum, though? And wouldn't this reduce die damage?

Again, just questions with no answers from me. Thanks!

All of the ones I have I got off of ebay from the same source. I have no clue where they got them. I wanted a bunch because it's too hot to do much work outside, I'm bored, I found it interesting, and the price was not too high for some entertainment.

Kudos to the sharp-eyed speculator and their enterprising efforts.

I was curious to see if it was some sort of odd chip progression. Doesn't appear to be so to me.

...you have much better eyes than I do. It might be related to my color blindness. I just can't see it.
