That's a stain (Post Strike Damage). You can see the circle in between the "B" and "E" in "LIBERTY" on the 3rd picture. Not an error.

I don't believe it's a stain, but I am not completely sure of what it is. It certainly looks like a raised anomaly between the letters. My only suggestion is to send it to JC Stevens of http://www.cuds-on-coins.com and see what his determination is. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Or it could be from the mint wash from the U.S. Mint.

To me the shadows on the devices say it's not a chip. They're the same on all the pics.

The third pic says it all. The anomaly has its own highlights and shadow, so it's not a stain. A stain would not have appeared so prominently in that pic.

You can see highlights on the left side of E which look MD shining through stain. Exposure is blown out also.  |

Bubble bubble, toil and trouble! Way the left side of E is shows impact of press, maybe something under plating. See any split plating issues elsewhere?

I'm with @crazyb0 on this. I would want to eliminate a well-placed plating bubble before I called this a die chip.

It's obviously a stain, not a Die Chip. This abnormality isn't raised. It's flat. A Die Chip would be raised. You can even see the surface in the middle of the circle, which indicates it's a stain.

Even looks like a different color than the copper. Could be just a bubble that got scraped and the zinc is showing through.

Looks like I'm late to the party. As I was reading the posts I think I changed my mind three or four times. I'm voting for die chip since it won't press down nor did it seem to change shape at all after trying to compress. A few of the pictures seem to show that it's raised and the way the light reflects off of it.that's a puzzler for sure.

I try to pop it but it did not go. I do believe it is not a stain. It is a Die chip instead let me take other pic
