I think it's blurry photos and at best I don't see whatever you thing you see/feel.

Its possible that another coin got pressed against it to cause an impression or possibly a die clash, but the photo isn't clear enough. the coin appears to be circulated making it harder to tell. Good spotting!

I do see that impression you're talking about. Maybe a Struck Through error?
Errers and Varietys.

Looks like a gouge caused by post-mint damage.

How can you tell if it is a post-mint damage? I actually just figured out what the image is. It is the Monticello of the 5 cents. It looks like a five cent coin was pressed on top of it. The only thing that makes me wonder is how they were able to press it to have pretty deep grove without causing damage on the other side of the coin.

Here is the monticello. I also saw the rim edge of the nickle that marked it. Pretty interesting how it got indented deep.  |

Here is an example of a struck through on a JFK reverse:  Note only the reverse is affected? On your coin is the reverse normal or showing a bulged out area on it. If it is a struck through error, there should be no affect on the reverse of your coin.. If it bulges out, then it is damage. If it is not showing a bulge, then check the weight of the coin to see if it is under weight? If so that maybe the cause, because the metal was not the correct weight. If the reverse on your coin is also showing the same look on it, then it maybe the under weight issue. (An image of the reverse might be helpful) |

Thanks COOP! The image of the back side is the 4th image on the original post. There is no damage or any bulging on the back side at all which is why it made me wonder how the deep dent was made on the front side.
