Looks like a worn punch used during the blanking process.

That was my first impression, too.
Does that qualify as a mint error, like a cracked die or a clipped planchet?
Somebody at the mint failed on the maintenance/quality control job.

Agree with a worn punch here.

Thank you guys , I'd haden't notice it if wasn't by that little peel by the rim , that made me take a closer look and saw those marks , then after I found it , I look at all the coins rims together on my hand and the ones with the broken punch stand out from the normal ones .So is it an error from the punch been worn out on the blanking process or just an interesting find like the DDD or MD ?. |

Yes, I agree with a worn collar. If it were a bad blanking punch, I think that it should have been removed by the upsetting mill and the collar (if it is in good shape.0

Not my strong point, but I would agree with HGK3 that this is the result of a damaged/worn collar.
