Note the affected area is deeper than the design? So it was probably there during the die creation process. The arms on the chair are not as deep into the design as the affected area, and it is raised, showing it is die damage and also verticle. All this makes me think it was part of the hub process when this class 9 snap back into the correct alignment left this line on the central area of the die. It is part of the DDR.
