    If you're talking about the "crack" on his shoulder, that may be a lamination error.

    @paddyman98 would be a great person on this lamination subject.

    Yes to minor Lamination Crack. Not to be confused with a Die Break.
    A Lamination is a improper mixture of the Nickel which caused the Lamination Planchet Error. A Die Break occurs on the Die itself causing a raised formation on the Planchet when struck.
    Here is an example I had attributed by NGC -

    Lamination error but 70 hard years of circulation wear kills it
