Something blocked the round area from the gunk that is around it.
That area is way too high for a RPD, it IS imagination. A RPD is usually directly under the date, with maybe a couple of edges showing.
Here's one I just found in a Budgood bag[ATTACH]
My humble non-expert opinion is that this is die deterioration.
I got another Budgood bag from the classifieds here, and I'm about half way through searching them, so far I've found 2 more 1911-S and a highly...

I am currently searching a "budgood bag", and found some 63 cents, so I scoped them with my Chinese 45x lighted microscope, and saw striated...
I think I got 4 different elongated quarters at Disney. Someone needs to make a machine that you put in an elongated cent and a 1914-d comes out!
