It looks like a bag mark/hit from the reeded edge of another coin.

Or struck through a piece of wire.
Can you post a better photo?

I'd lean towards struck through debris (wire brush bristle) but don't think the light would reflex off coin differently from the north or south sides of the mark as if metal was pushed instead of stamped. Is that a reeded coin? or Would reeded coins be included in the bag?...  Edited by Greasy Fingers

Looks like post-mint damage (actually post-strike), either from another coin or a piece of machinery moving things along.

I'm not saying it is a bag mark. I'm saying it might be a bag mark. Coins are shipped (or were) to banks or coin wrapping companies from the mint in canvas bags. The coins hits each other inside the bag, when the bags are thrown around during transport..... Hence bag marks.

Definitely a bag mark. It's Post Strike Damage ( PSD). Not an error coin. Errers and Varietys.
