looks like damage, the edge/rim took a hit and move some of the metal to the coins field.

Interesting curiosity
To my eye, it looks like a small shard of a previous coin in the coin press has landed on the planchet of this coin, the dies have then struck the planchet into a coin, and the striking pressure has attached the small shard onto the coin that is pictured.
Minor error, perhaps valued at a dollar or so.

Here is a bit more History to add to this subject: Why do some coins have reeds and some do not? This answer maybe different than you've heard in the past:  Sorry, when a subject comes up, I like to share something that will enhance the subject, just a bit more. If you like it, same it for another time to share with others.

 . I'm wondering what year/s it was when a silver dime was worth only a dime? Quarter and so on? Lol  should I start shaving chunks of copper off of Cu Lincoln's?  Copper around $4.50 a pound  It'd only take a little while to scrape off a pound.

Up to 1964. The clad coins took into affect in 1965 and the silver coins have been hoarded ever since.
