It is weird. I do agree that it does look like another letter under there

It must be die chips, damage, or a combination of the two.

Another much clearer example turned up. Maybe a partial R under the C ? Opinions appreciated.     Watch your top knot

Hard to say but E seems plausible.

Is there anything like this on any of the other letters?

Looks as if they made a restrike over an older design. More letters have anomaly-like features, even the date 186 and the 1 especially. Appears that there is a maller more narrow 1 beneath it.. Maybe some kind of variation?

No - no other letters have anything underneath.
I think that it is a partial E under the C.
There are others in this series with similar legend blunders so its quite possible.
Thanks again everyone for your comments.

I feel fairly certain that if the letter had been re cut on the die,
that the re cut would have long since been documented as a variety.
With this as a background, my thoughts lean to the idea that
what we see here are three small die chips.
Perhaps Downies or Noble Numismatics may be able to comment further.
Send these pictures to them.
