Thanks mos0239 and coop. I was hoping someone had seen this type of anomaly before so I could call it by its proper name. You should see how the cartwheel luster looks on that area when tilted.

But any car with a damaged fender, is not an attractive look for the car. So with the damage like that on a coin, it is always a spender. (unless you want to show to a new collector as an example of coin damage as an educational piece?)

Looks like something small and rotating, like a Dremel (MS) tool.

I see the circles also appear inside the first U of PLURIBUS. I've never seen anything quite like that, IMO it's worth showing to Mike Diamond.

Do you have a coin dealer/shop in your area? Take it to him, see what he tells you.

Once again, as previously mentioned: definitely a PMD

if the die shattered the metal would have moved to fill in the areas, like a Cud does. This is post mint damage. the tool (side cutters) is wrong, this was done with tin snips. same like the cut under the 6 and the imprint of the snips beside the 6. the person just didn't work the tin snips as much in that spot as the spot that caught your eye. tin snip blades are serrated clamping them down and working it back and forth will put the circular marks.

How does any type of cutter mark the low area inside a non-incuse device, such as a letter, without also marking the immediately adjacent higher area of that device?

nick10, on national parks quarters the lettering around the edge of the reverse is incuse, not raised. On the "IC" of the obverse in America it's clearly pushing the metal of the letters, they are gone, on the reverse the lettering is incuse and the cutter is passing over it instead.
national park quarters are very common, go look at one.

Ah, there we go, thank you. Shows how little attention I've paid to ATB Quarters. With an incuse design, scratching/marking works opposite the usual, so yes, I agree that's PMD there.
