Back to the OP question. The pictures aren't the greatest, but it looks either like damage, or something is stuck to the coin.

 

I look at it trying to come up with that same answer but the longer I looked the more it looks like it was printed ownit's not damaged because it's raised just like the other letters and numbers on the coin

 

Coins are not printed, sir, but struck. With that said though, "damage" can take many forms, so something being "raised" does not automatically exclude it from being damage. It's also possible something foreign is on the surface of the coin and is why better photos would be helpful in trying to determine exactly what you have.

It appears as a deteriorated reverse die. Notices how it delineates with the curve of the wheat stalk and the other devices. Since it is in an area that was 'deeper' into the metal, the die would be correspondingly high ( top part ) in that area. If it chips, breaks, or wears due to damage or internal stress, the remaining part will not push the metal so low on the strike and that area will be raised. Jim

 

stop the presses after further research i found out today it was a deposit when a die breaks the mint considers it a QC problem not mint arra
