Not sure if this is a rot bubble or if this was a rockwell test mark on the die. Has the common memorial rim cracks as well but can anyone recommend on the bump? Thanks.

To me this most looks like debris trapped under the plating or underlying zinc rot, but it certainly could be a die chip.

I'm thinking die chip...note the subtle die crack running from the corner of the monument steps, out to the rim.
