I'll go with altered/tooled too - cap looks strange with those 2 indented areas.

I like this. It's good practice/learning especially for us novices. I am in the tooled camp.

I've been looking at this coin for a long time and all I can guess, as several others have suggested, is that the small spot above the right shoulder might be a small spot of repair?

Before I even looked at the responses, tooled came to mind around the drapery.

Obverse tooled especially "LIBERTY". Looks to be some lines added in Miss Liberty's dress.

You should specify whose "details" designation this is - PCGS, NGC, or ? Meanwhile I will pick NGC "planchet flaw" due to that stuff between the staff and her arm, because if that cleaning is "market acceptable" then who cares really what else it is.
Rest in Peace

Ok, the more I look at it the area around the star to the right of Lady Liberty's looks kind of squared. Asymmetrical 90 degree angle.
