No not a Cud, the die didn't completely break off yet. Maybe we need a nice in focus close-up of the anomaly with the lighting off to the side a bit to create a mild shadow on the devices and the item of interest to see if it is raised or incuse.
Suggestions: 1. Try a toothpick on that area to see if it is possible grease on that area. If so, take an after image to add to my files. No premium for this but have seen it a few times.
Coop, yes, I would say like number 3 that you listed. The height of the plating is the same as the rim. The plating appears to be pushed from the rim to the letter A in America but the rim area doesn't exhibit any type of of damage.
