You're just seeing animal shapes in the clouds. How do you suppose the mint could have produced a working die with the mint mark in this position?

I agree--it is a minor bit of damage plus Pareidolia.

That's pretty much what a normal 1909 VDB looks like.

I have my doubts about the overall surface texture of the LWC.
