Reminds me of the peeing minute man on the Mass quarter someone was trying to sell for $10,000 awhile ago. It was just a die crack in - well, just that spot.

But seriously, looks like she's got a cold there.

Thanks Guys, That is what I thought It must have been minted
during cold and flu season

J_H_S,
There are two spots right in the center and just to the left
of center that I personally keep it from being Full Split Bands.
But I am more of a technical grader when it comes to my coins.
With that said, I have seen some that were not nearly as split as mine
in FSB Holders put out by some Third party graders.

Probably not gouges. Looks like remnants of a die clash. There is also some die polising going one where they were trying to remove the clashmarks.

actually, agreed..
Not a die gouge.

It is the remnants from the mint polishing the die, to remove damage, usually from a die clash.

Conder101 and TreasHunt Thank You for clarifying that.
I would have went right along thinking they were gouges.
Love this place, Learning something new all the time.

Thanks Again

Terry
