Hi wrongalot
Thats an interesting coin,, I'm assuming from the thread title that the coin is a philly mint coin since you did not list a mint with it ?
although the anomoly has a nice shape of a D in most cases dropped letters make an incuse impression on the coin,,
I cant decide from the pics exactly how to attribute this coin.
My first impression was die chip , but I cant say positively that is what it is.

One other explanation may be that this is a loose piece of copper that is adhered to that spot. If you take a toothpick and try to flick it off you may have your answer.

It's a small lamination peel. These are actually somewhat common.

What exactly is a lamination peel? When I shine the light on the left and get the "negative" look it is punched onto the coin, like a letter is. Do you have a website where I can learn about this?

A lamination peel is a loose piece of the planchet that folds back onto itself after the strike. Like a folded back piece of foil. They are somewhat common and usually don't bring much of a premium unless they are substantial.
