I hate when that happens!
If it really is Under the L then I would agree with Indian1 - that the damage may have happened before the coin was struck.
But it looks like it the damage may have occurred a little above the bottom of the L and the split continued under the L after impact. But I'm guessing. It really depends upon what photo I look at.
I've had coins with similar-looking PMD -- when I thought it was a die crack or gouge but it wasn't --makes my eyes hurt after awhile. LOL
