Found this 1904 Indian Head cent coin roll hunting. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if it is a mint error. Thanks

2 possibilities...small die chip or PMD, pushed over metal caused by a hit to the first feather.

Tough call, where was the hit that caused that much metal movement? But then if that was a die chip should it be a well known variety?

To CCF! As stated, it could be a Die Chip or a hit from PMD.

I'm voting PMD. if it was a large die chip essentially joining the feather, field, and "S," I would expect those three elements to appear to be merged/fused together. From the pics, it looks like displaced metal over the top of the S. I'd soak it in acetone to remove the gunk around that area for a better look.
