That is interesting. *Without removing it*, can you tell if it is resting on the coin or rather is struck into the coin?

hello holiday1326,
Hard to tell but it looks like some of the metal above it has been gouged out and moved south.
Nice close up pictures.
EDIT: can we get a close up picture but at an angle?

Still looks like the metal has been gouged out where the zinc rot showing its ugly head. I could be wrong
The new pictures are head on .. I meant pictures at a 45 degree angle.

That is a fairly common place for small die chips and die breaks, and I think it's just that. Sometimes referred to as a 'beehive' break when they fully develop.

Could this be a dropped piece of the garland on the cornice?  |

Weird die chip. (anorexia nervosa?) LOL May have started out as a die crack that is turned into a break, without a chip? Hey I'm Chipless. LOL I've not seen that before.

Looks like a small and oddly shaped IDB.
