I may have found a new error that I haven't seen anywhere else. In her hair under ED is halfway filled in with either a die break or a double die. If I'm the first I'll name it hidden twig lol.
Yes it is a die chip on hair, but unfortunately it is common to find that die chip on Wilma hair, I believe there is also a die crack and die chip in Washington's mouth on your coin, which is also very common, on this coin.
Die chips on the new portrait are incredibly common. Washington's portrait is fairly high relief (especially in contrast to the spaghetti hair of the last years of the Flannagan portrait).
The stresses between the two - obverse and reverse - are also more complex to get right with five designs a year.

Gi, thank you!! for not using the "BS" ebay terminology to describe that die chip as "Drooling Washington". My least favorite ebay "coined term" though there are quite a few.
