@SIMS, first welcome to CCF. Second, after re-orienting, blowing-up, and enhancing your pic, I do see what you mean. There is a gouge on the drummer's right forearm as well as a scratch on the side of the drum. Both of these were caused after the coin was minted.
While there are some who still hoard bicentennial coins (I may have a small stash lying around here somewhere myself), so many were made that it seems unlikely that circulated specimens will ever be worth much more than face value. These two hits on your coin won't improve the value.
