The three dots near the second A in AMERICA? That's what's called a "reed mark." It happened when another coin hit your coin edge-on (probably in a bag while being transported).
Ah, that makes sense. I thought it looked like a coins markings but couldn't figure out why cause the peace has no markings that look like that.
Is there a clash mark extending from the eagles right shoulder? What year is it? Can we get a full pic of the obverse and reverse? Could be a die clash or notable VAM.
