This was the first one I was comparing - Maybe it needs to be closer to the year in question?:  |

I first picked the 2000-s, and then later thought of another one that was closer in date to your coin. The design on the obverse/reverse changes a bit every once in a while. So getting an overlay closer to the date will show us a better idea of the clash pattern for a certain year. That is the difference.

I tried my own overlay for this coin. The quality is nowhere as good as yours, coop, but here it is (comments?):  Edited by Pete2226

It works. Note the die clash is close to that area, but does not show in that direction. (your image need a bit of contrast added to it and it would be perfect. Great job)

I made the overlay I little less opaque - looks like the mark is not from the mouth, either. Perhaps it is a scratch and not a clash? Not sure about a chip...(?)  |

Not a die chip. A die dent or gouge? John1  |

Any chance that's a gas bubble?

A die dent or gouge? Okay - a die dent seems like a distinct possibility...but how do you tell the difference between a scratch, a dent, and a gouge? I have no idea how to do that!!1  |

They are all incuse on the die. Chips and gouges are similar, the gouge is just bigger. The scratch is just that a scratch- linear.
A dent is a dent (not all tore up, just depressed on the die. Yours looks like a dent to me.

Pete226: The first image was OK. I meant to adjust the images contrast a bit. Note the color change:  |
