Post mint damage. The stretching of the D is actually one of the indications of damage, it shows that the D was normal and metal was displaced. Also the fact that the piece protruding has reeding on the edge shows that it is damage.

Any idea how obverse side has such a "perfect" piece missing with no signs of damage to coin

You can see that the edge protrudes a little farther there, something that can't happen at the mint if the reeding is intact. The flattening on the reverse is also indicative of damage. As for the smoothness, I guess it was flat object with squared edges. |

There is no metal missing, it is just flattened out. This explains the corresponding reverse damage as well.
