I do not see anything on the reverse to suggest the coin was struck obverse, and a hit that deep would have needed to displace some metal. Also, there is what appears to be a crack running to/from this deep pit.
tdziemia, thanks for you opinion. I though the same thing, as I have seen other coins with similar-looking flaws. It looks like maybe an impurity got into the metal.
