What is this off the "3"?

Full size instead of thimbnails helps. Looks a lot like a counter clash to me.
Mayybe @Oldhoopster has an Idea.

 

With those pics it’s probably a plating blister.

 

Could be....

 

Clash of the bottom half of E in AMERICA possibly? Is it raised or incuse?

 

I’m still seeing a possible plating blister. It is on a copper plated zinc coin.

 

I'm not understanding the thing about thumbnails. When you click on it, it enlarges it to full size. Is that not big enough? If so, I will post full size instead.

 

Your last posted photos (post #8) is much better.
That is a very odd mark next to the 3. Is it incused or raised? Looks raised and I have no idea how it came to be there, but I would still consider it damage, PMD. IMHO.

 

It could be a clash but I still think it’s a plating blister that resembles part of the letter E. If it was a clash I would think a little more of that area would show. Like more of the E, or other pss as eye of other letters.

 

It is raised.

 

Thanks everyone for your help. It's a keeper!

 

Throw it in a flip and come back to it as you learn what to look for.
