It looks like it got banged around and got damaged from another coin's edge. Post Mint Damage can actually occur inside the Mint believe it or not. Usually it happens when the coins go in the hopper and get bag marks from being jiggled around causing scratches, scrapes, and other Post Mint Damage.

Is that the rim ding at 10:00 o'clock on the reverse.

I can believe that! Some of the mint coins I've seen are just horrible!

It is at 10 o'clock position. I'm not sure if the edge gets stamped before going through the dies or not. If it goes through the edger first then that would completely eliminate an edge strike through.

You can see where the metal has been pushed from the Hit. Just plain old damage.

If I remember right the edge lettering was applied after strike for business issue coins. Proof coins it was applied at the time of strike by the collar.
I would think a contact mark that deep would've damaged or filled the incused star a bit more. Makes me think rolled through some kind of debris might be plausible. Thanks, Doug.

That's what I was think Halo, But it all depends upon the process. If not no big deal! I'll just keep looking for my first edge strike through! Anywho I do appreciate the responses!

It is,But completely different than the one pictured above. This anomaly looks more like pitting. I have to get in bed for work so I'll picture this tomorrow.
