    It looks like a die chip.

    Die Chips are literally pieces of a die chipping off. There’s no set shape they come in. Nice find :)

    That's fun! Congrats on your die chip find! Looks like it has flow steps or ridges in it.

    There is no rhyme or reason governing the shape of a die break. A sub-surface crack forms and follows the path of least resistance. You have an interesting example of a die break, and it is located in a place where I don't recall ever seeing one before. Perhaps @paddyman98 will show you some examples of his "Hornets Nest".

    Large die chip, fields are really clean...nice coin!

    I see something else too, on the obverse...a smoothed over small die chip in front of the ear orifice...unless it's a trick of the lighting...jmho...Spark
