The scrapes look to be the correct angle for Feeder Finger Damage.

Thanks Ft Collins. Agree with Chase007 - its a struck through debris, unless someone finds another one or comes up with something more plausible.

That would mean the obverse die would be the anvil die in the minting machine. Would that be a common practice in 1964?

I love "stuff" like this.

"Struck through debris" would leave an incuse impression of the item it was struck through. I'm not seeing an incuse impression on the coin. Unless I'm not seeing it properly, there are two raised parallel lines on the coin.

IMHO, without more definitive visible elements, this should probably be chalked up to "Die Dent" as Coinhi mentioned.
Personally, I like die "anomalies". The more extreme the better.

It's hard to tell but the die anomaly under the bust may be angled the same direction as the lines at LIBERTY. So maybe that is another clue.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

The discoloration around the "LIBE" of LIBERTY, different discoloration through Lincoln's portrait, and the color on the raised metal make me ask another question. Could this simply be solder and the discoloration from a soldering iron?

Looks like a die dent to me.
