Can someone identify the cause of this for me? It's nothing big, I'm just curious. Is this a die chip or something else?

This is a pic of 2 coins to show the difference between one normal coin and the one I have a question about.

It's kind of an odd shape for a die chip?

Out of curiosity, I looked through some piggy bank change I happened to have and noted that 2 out of ten also had similar anomalies. The ones I have are not as far gone as yours but they look like they might possibly be early stages of some sort of die failure. Both are also from Philadelphia.

Another in same group after a more critical review - it looks like a similar start.

Wife had a roll of quarters in the car, there happened to be 6 Salt River quarters in it - found another

Speculating a weak point in the design.
