Thanks everyone! I was pretty sure that it was just damage but wanted to check just in case.
I still think it is weird that it was cut the way it was, kinda weird like they were using an exacto knife made for metal

So, what do you guys do when you are looking through coins? How do you decide which coins to look at and which coins to toss back into circulation? Do you examine each one?
Oh and can someone please explain to me what notching is when you are talking about double dies? I am finding it difficult to identify what a real double die looks like.
Are there specific aspects you check first?
Sorry for all the questions I am just trying to learn.
