Thank you for posting good photos.
It might be a die gouge?
Is the mark between 2000 and the D raised above the surface?
Sometimes this can happen if some glue gets on the coin, but usually that affects a larger area.
It could be blistered plating...check the anomaly with a rose thorn or sharp tooth pick... If it moves, it is a blister... if not, either a die chip or gouge....more likely a die chip...Cheers, RickO
Looks interesting, but no premium, as
examples are easily found in circulation.

It is raised. It looks like a strike.![](https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/un/lk09n7rht2q3.jpeg)

It looks like a die chip or die gouge. Unfortunately, it is unlikely to be the kind of thing that will bring much of a premium if sold.
Blistered plating.

Small copper plating blister.

"Jesus died for you and for me, Thank you,Jesus"!!!
--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.Just out of curiosity, how can you tell it is a blister and not a die chip from the photo?
I would also say plating blister.
