    Looks like something on top of the 4's .... cannot tell much more from the picture.... Is it metallic? Did you try a pin point to see if it is soft? Acetone bath? Cheers, RickO

    Acetone done stayed on
    Looks the same metal as the coin
    Used a toothpick no movement it permanently there.

    Is the dark rectangular area southeast of the "damage" missing metal / indented? Makes it look like a strip peeled off and then got struck to the coin. Or just an illusion...

    It is called a "Lamination."
