It looks like a die chip, but its hard to see, due to the glare.

I suggest diffusing that light with some fabric. If your camera has a macro or close up setting, enable that and you should be able to get closer shots. The macro / close up feature is usually indicated by a flower. I try to avoid zooming in more than 2.0x in macro mode because the camera will have issues focusing.

The reverse may be a little off center, but it is not enough to matter, since all the devices are still on the coin. MAD's and Off center coins get a premium if their devices fall off the edges.

It might be a die chip or a gas bubble. If it gives when you press on it, gas bubble under the plating. The reverse looks like a MAD (Mis-Aligned-Die) coin. We usually note this on the obverse, but the changed the hammer and anvil die selection. So we need to start looking for the reverses as having the MAD as well.

Looks like a die crack/chip to me and a very minor BIE.The reverse is a very slight MAD not worth a premium.If this is your first BIE MAD then keep it otherwise it's a spender,IMHO.
