Any idea what caused the defect ?
Well for sure it was someone after this quarter left the mint. That makes this damage--interesting looking to be sure--but plain damage. My guess is that someone used a metal file on one side and was careful to remove about the same amount of metal with each stroke around the coin.
Added: in looking at the edge, you can see where the excess metal has rolled up onto it.
Also, welcome to CCF!
