That is a die chip. Which is my point. A die chip happens when an area on the die falls away. There is now a void in that location, making a raised area on the coins. This doesn't go away. On the 031, something happened similar to that but on the lower serif area. It would have to be two different events on two different dies. I just don't see away that it could happen on the same die.

My apologies. Misunderstood. I was thinking the "die crack" extending from the 9 to the south of the D was completely independent from the die chip and two separate possibilities that COULD occur possibly as an anomaly. The die crack initially on first run coins and then the die chip at some random striking moment in the mint process from there on, later coins in the series from the same die. Sorry for the misunderstanding. 😳 it's just my naiveness.
