I found the first of these two 1994 LMC's a few weeks ago and was going to post the image but thought it might not be of interest. Tonight I find a second with the same die dent damaged coin in a different box from a different bank branch. I'm assuming these are from the same die. However the two dots on the close up are different. On the coin on the left the dots are round and the coin on the right the dots are oblong. I'm having trouble understanding how the same die, at the same time, produces two such different coins. It doesn't appear to be wear flattening.    "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI |

Very interesting finds for sure.  Errers and Varietys.

Could also be different stages of the same die IE early stage compared to mid state or late state.

I agree with 16609, they do appear to be from the same die pair. I've seen this many times with uncirculated rolls, but to come across this with coins that have been circulating for 30 years is a rare find!

Good eye matching those up!

Looks like a die dent to me. It's behind the letters on the device.

As Makecents said, possible MAD die clashes. But without any corroborating devices or letters to confirm a design from a die, these are considered die dents.
As far as the dots being different (round vs. oblong), I can't see the difference in the images.
