I have a cent that has the same thing, the last digit in the date is missing. It is a filled die. A piece of metal or something gets stuck in the little recessed areas on the die, it results in something missing on the coin. I thought I had found 1800 year old
Lincoln Penny.
They are interesting finds, and can be worth a little extra money. Post some pictures if you can.
