Do you think that is a small die crack next to the "E" on reverse?

I am now certain that this is not an error of any kind. The blob on the obverse was quite clearly added after the strike. The reverse also seems to show a surface contaminant.

Mike, what do you think that contaminant is? like some sort of epoxy or glue.

Mike, your saying someone put that there on purpose? So it isn't enough to throw of the weight at all?

The normal weight suggests that this is some kind of opaque plastic. It wasn't necessarily put there on purpose. You can find lots of coins with crud stuck to the surface.

Coinfox, Now that we know what it is, coop might want to use pictures of your coin in his educational files to help people in the future.
