So many markings can be found on any coin due to PMD, but this one has had me due to two factors. I was hoping to see if any Pillars, and of course anyone else, could shed some light on this.
The pictures that capture the transition from the cost up to the surfaces of the shot pouch and powder horn there are impressions within this area. I was thinking that a PMD impression could not achieve this without impressing the raised area (i.e., powder horn surface or shot pouch).
Simple question - Could this have occurred at the mint?
Thank you all in advance for sharing your thoughts.

Could be caused by a small Struck Through, possibly grease or grit.

Here is the normal design:

There could have been a struck through thin paper on that area. Of if the raised devices are also affected, a drop of acid on the surface may have altered. So probably not a premium for this coin?

Thanks JimmyD & Coop! Your illustrations are A+ Coop. I understand both thoughts.

Just to clarify my intentions for starting this thread. It was not to assess value, but rather understand how and what created this. As an engineer, I'm just very curious and love details.

If this is the case then it was a piece of debris that was roughly 3/32" in diameter. If this is the cause, then it just has me trying to think what it could have come from.

Based on the symmetry of the mark, the two circles around the 10 o'clock and the roughly 80 degree bend on the top right there really is no way grease or grit could have been the cause of this. Now if the grit was dislodged from an object with this shape, then yes it could be grit. Just being a little OCD JimmyD. LOL
