After reading the die ring entry again, I wonder if it's not a drop of something acidic that etched the die. The perimeter edge of a drop would be where the liquid, die metal, and air intersect.

Those are excellent close up photos. I can see the edge of the raised area.
Don't have a clue what caused it however.

That sounds like the most reasonable explanation yet. BTW, this is not unique - you can find several just like it on ebay with the mark in the same place. |

An undocumented Privy Mark? 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...       |
