No, it's not normal but not uncommon. Looks like die chips.
Rest in Peace

Thinking the mint mark punch itself is showing wear issues. Thanks, Doug.

It is from a damaged mint mark punch. The difference? Look at the whole coin. The die is in a very nice die state when the coin was struck. The damaged mint mark punch mark on the mint mark was there from coin #1.
