Damage. Another coins edge falling on this one probably dented it. A die chip is raised metal. This looks lower, then raised closer to the steps.
Ok, this coin is totally playing tricks on my eye. The entire time I viewed it under the microscope, it looked like it was raised. Looking at these photos, it still looks raised to me. However, after reading your post, I looked at the coin from an angle using just a loupe and it is clearly dented. Damage it is. I'm still keeping this one, because I think it's cool.
