Is this called a Cud? Right of T and up at the rim, small but hey. On the E there is an extra arm under the top arm. The mark between the E and S is a cut.
It is also a die crack along with a chip. The die crack is spreading. Do you know why it is not a chip? (The cause) Because the edge/rim area is missing off the die. That hasn't happened on the die yet when your coin was struck. Later one it may happen, or again it may just eventually be retired later on.
Looking again it maybe a die dent. I know this might sound strange, but a small contact on the outside edge of the die would make an incuse area on the die, when a coin is struck, the lower lip on the die that forms the rim shows a raised area on the coin from the die dent. But on your coin it doesn't look that large. Also noted it is a die crack.
