    Wish the Obv pic had more detail; is that defect raised or indented? Same question on the Rev; the I & C appear flattened, but the underlying feature appears raised and rounded. I really don't see a "die" related error, but rather some mechanical artifact . . . there may be a relationship between the Ob & Rv anomalies, but they seem of different forms, e.g. more like a roll closing spin mark on the Obv. I would guess "mechanical" damage, but PMD or at Mint not sure; especially the Rev artifact. Sorry I couldn't help more:( Semper Fidelis

    Best guesses:
    Obverse: Damage during rolling coins by a coin wrapper.
    Reverse: Plating bubble on the planchet.

    You didn't say what you thought it was. You might have to chop the coin in half.
