Note how the hair at the bottom of that area looks thinner than normal. It tells me that the die was over polished at the time your coin was struck. But the note the '63' looks wider. So there is probably an issue with also extreme die wear happening. So I feel it is note a die chip, but just die wear. If it were a chip I would expect to see that area raised? It's not. So I feel it is just die wear.
