The area on the reverse on 'ONE' looks pushed outward. Possible damage on the obverse?

Thanks gang!
Coop, It's just the lighting as there is no bulging on the reverse.

Location is also wrong to be a bulge:

Really nice. Some of the "struck through" looks like grease and some looks to have been more solid (the deeper grey areas). The raised area near the rim by the grey area looks raised. Maybe there were multiple coins struck and the die was damaged from whatever caused "struck through"?
The incuse area on the rim by the date may have had some grease clogging up the rim gutter on the die as well.
The grey areas look like part of the zinc core. IMHO, something must have stuck to the zinc blank before it was plated, then it fell out after it was struck?
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Thanks TB!
Thanks Petespockets55, I like your analysis. To note, there is a very small die crack at 6:00 and the area under "IN" is not a bubble and is completely flat.
I guess a 2x2 is best way to slow zinc rot?
