I have an 1895-O Morgan, and I noticed a very random "O" by the denticles and between "ONE" and "DOLLAR". It does have the normal O mint mark, but I don't believe this is just a ding on the coin. I have looked at this under a 10x, 20x and 25x loupe and it appears that it has raised edges like it was a faulty punch of the mint mark. It is about 60% of the size of the real mark. Any thoughts on what this is, or could be?

Looks like a circulation hit to me.

These aren't the best pics, clearly, but I was rushing, and took them with the coin still in the plastic sleeve thing.
