Is there is some defect or error above the wing on the reverse? It didn't scrape off with a toothpick.

I also noticed that the surface looks very "grainy", but not like a Woody. The grain is parallel in regions, but not across the entire surface. What would cause that?

Thanks!

Looks like it might be a die chip above the wing, and the lines are caused by a worn out die (late die state/LDS).

The tops of the devices are probably a bit altered from vending machine/slot machine use.

It doesn't appear to be in a clash area. So I agree with die chip.

I actually just saw one today. I agree on die chip/worn out. Rest looks like wear from vending machine use
