My best guess is that this coin was held in a machinist's vice, but @JD is correct that it is just damage.

Thank you all....I knew it wasn't a mint error, and it's also on the other side as well. I thought maybe somebody was trying to make jewelery....thank you....

Fully concur that what you have is a damaged coin. There are many ways it could have occurred - all of them post mint.
