Probably a die scratch.
No extra value.

No.. its not a scratch... it looks more like a sword or leaf. Its bumpy or embossed shape, you can feel it with your finger... not scratched on flat surface.  |

The leaf (or what ever that is) is bumpy like the lettering. I examined it pretty close to make sure it wasnt a scratch... too bad m6 camera doesn't deliver :(

I believe it is called a remnant die clash. when they discover it they either replace the die or polish it off, in this case the latter, but missed part of it. I recognized it right away, but once again coop beat me to it.
one can learn a lot here but I didn't realize how ignorant I really am until I viewed coop's video on doubled dies.lol

upon closer examination, that particular part of his hair shouldn't be right there. how can that be? could it be shaped that way from polishing the die? or a die chip maybe? is it possible that coop missed the diagnosis? not likely. one thing I am certain of though, it is not a leaf from the reverse.

It is from a clash from the obverse die. Not all devices transfer to the other die during a clash. Sometimes just a little and they may have missed that when they polished the die. But it is form a clash.

The clash is actually from the space between the queue and back of Jefferson's collar
