No doubt, after being in circulation for 72 years! Chris
Note where the light and dark areas meet just inside the edge from about 12 o'clock to 4 o'clock. I could be wrong, but it suggests to me that it...

It would be recessed if it was the result of a Dropped Element. If it was a "chip" from another coin, the letters would be backwards What would...
Yep, those photos are too small. Does your camera have a Super Macro function? Chris
