Thought this is sorta interesting. Sorry for so many pictures. Different light angles. I have 3 different light source going. One drowns out the other shot.
Would a light ring be better? I can't get all to show in one picture.
Opinions and comments about coin and lighting. I would sure appreciate it.

Guessing this is just a circulation hit on the upper serif.

Looks normal with a hit. No light ring. A single light source is best.

If it is incuse, then it is probably a contact mark. A RPM is raised either above the fields or above the devices or showing split serifs. (Whats a serif? The corners of the 'D', on 'S' it the ends of the mintmarks:

Thanks everyone for your comments.
I was just curious about this at the end of S to where the red arrows are pointing. What do you think happened that caused this?
White arrows probably nothing but they're raised.
