The planchet under the I was like that before it was struck, I have seen numerous similar examples, what the cause not quite sure!
The area on the Bust looks like a die crack with a couple of die chips and it is not a partial letter.

The devices are on the outside edge of the reverses on the quarters are insuse not raised on the ATB series. So any contact mark will appear on the field areas and not touch the devices unless it is hit hard:  When you rotate the image, you can see it better: The devices on the EPU on the shield cents are also incuse on the coin.

OP's image including coop's both indicate the contact mark under the device, I have seen several such examples first hand, these mark must have been on the planchet pre-strike.  |

The contact mark is after the strike. The fields were flattened a bit from contact with another coin in circulation. While it appears to be behind the devices, it is not. It is on top of the devices. (These devices are incuse on the outer ring)

With the devices being incluse it could be a contact mark that didn't get hit hard enough to damage the devices. There are some people that can explain this better than me I'm definitely not an expert on this.
The images make the devices look raised when they are not.
