Now this one really has me stumped unless it has something sticking on the coin that has been wiped off the top of the letters. If it is from the die then the die has had some kind of really unusual damage. Hard to tell from a photo .
Some type of die damage most likely would categorize as a Die Gouge.....Personally, i like these things. Error ref.com has a good breakdown of these under the Die error section. At times, foreign matter will damage the die itself, hence producing these type of things. The feeder fingers are common in causing a "scrape" like area, usually around the center area though going under the main device. ( memorial, torch, etc).....thats my 2 cents anyways....pretty cool
