Is there a numerical designation for this specific error? I mean, other than a die chip.

Die chips/gouges are so beyond common it would be nearly impossible to list them all.

Die Chip, useful as a "marker" for a doubled die or other major variety but considered very minor by itself.

Markers are only important if the coin is from the same die.

Cracks/breaks/die scratches mean nothing if the variety isn't there.

The dies go through the same events so it maybe possible for a die to be affected the same way. Die cracks are something to compare side by side because a description die crack on "E" doesn't describe all the different ways the die crack can look like. So a side by side is necessary to be an exact confirmation, only if the hub doubling is present. Find the hub doubling first, then look for markers, not vice versa.
