Is this a clad set or a silver set?

If raised in addition to being a die chip, it could be a tiny lamination bubble. The key either way is to get it into a TGP slab, as slabbed errors of any kind are extremely rare on proof coins. I know PCGS will has graded silver eagles with lamination bubbles like that in the past and they have sold for signifigant premiums.

Clad. Don't think that the mint has shipped out silver yet.

Looks like a die dot. A small portion of the die has deteriorated and no it makes the raised area you are seeing. It is not a lamination bubble. The coin is clad. Just a bad spot on the die. I would return it to the mint if you ordered it online.

Why would you return it coop? Would it not be more collectible as an error coin?

While it might be an error, some might see it as a poor quality proof coin with more standard looking proof coins driving a higher price.

It maybe an eyesore to a proof collector. Others may view it as a distraction. Others may view it as an error. But the question I always ask myself is : "Would I buy this?" If not, I would return it. We expect a nice set. I would be disappointed in it. But others may feel differently. IMOHO

Wow... I'd love to have one of these just b/c it is odd and, although a mistake, looks intentional.
