Proken die post that prevented that area to have the center of that 'B'. These are common to find. But did you notice that area is rising above where the post should have been? That is because if broke off the die, lower than just the post. So the open void on a die will allow the metal to fill the void on the die and thus the metal rises above that letter. Just like the '8' on the lower image.
