I surprised somebody hasn't responded yet to answer your question.....everybody must be sleeping......

This is what is called a die chip....the part of the die that creates the inside of the "D" has broken off....

This is very common....you can find this affecting 5's and 9's of the date or the "B" in liberty quite often.....

Others will chime in to catch up what I have missed

Actually it is a broken post that froms the center of the mint mark that has broken off and now the center is no longer being formed on coin from this die. This happens and usually is not a reason to retire the die.
