Came upon this one. Really stood out in terms of the crack and chip/blob.   Crack runs from one side of his head to almost the other side. (about 3/4 of the way across). Marlies Edited by EML Coin Collector

If possible better photos would help us answer your question better and preferably not a photo taken of a screen displaying the object in question.  Edited by johnhenry9009

Better images would help. It might be a Retained Interior Die Break.
Errers and Varietys.

-John1- Sorry about that-here you go!  Just noticed crack at top of coin too-thanks -makecents- for making me aware of that area. Was too drawn to the other area. (done under different lighting):  Edited by EML Coin Collector

Looks like an interior die break showing a large die chip and die crack.

Yep sure looks like a RIDB, and in a known area for these to form.

Amazes me that this got past Quality Control at the Mint!

The volume of coins and the speed that they are minted..makes that really quite difficult.
Eventually they do catch damaged dies and retire them.
