Not an error of any kind, it's just damage.
There is no way for that to happen during the striking of the coin.

Aye, post-strike damage--possibly of a 'parking lot' nature. Coin didn't leave the striking chamber in that condition.

Much like your first coin but not to that extreme.
Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on
