Hello all just wondering about this coin in picture. I believe that they are die and clad Spanish looking "N" errors Please help if you can? Thank you all. :)

Are you suggesting that the us mint punched a tilded "n"? Unlikely... It looks like it took a hit right above the n. The "e" could be something else, but it definitely looks damaged. Sorry, but keep hunting! We'll wait for some experts though
It's just wear, and possibly some dirt or a planchet defect. On IHCs, the legend's letters aren't punched independently in the die, so they look all the same.
