After looking at the pictures again I'm going to change my opinion. The bottom bar of the E has taken a hit which has "shaved" metal off of it and pushed it down to form the "chip". If you look carefully at the bottom bar you can see that thearea just right of the upright almost out to the end of the bar is lower than the areas just to the left and right of it. That is the area that got "shaved". It remained attached at the left end, pushed down and down against the field. With some magnification and some good light if you look at it at a very shallow angle you will probably see that it is not attached to the field under it.
