    I am a total rookie but could it be coin machine "wheel" damage? If yes, that is PMD.

    Edit: Disregard this. I am wrong

    Looks like a deep gash in the planchet prior to striking.

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    @Coin_nut1977.... Is the mark incuse or raised? I could not determine that from the pictures. Cheers, RickO

    Might be planchet damage before the strike or lamination flaw? Mmm. Peace Roy

    Interesting... I am surprised at the metal fill of the letters over the incuse mark. Cheers, RickO

    surface flaw in the planchet. Note the struck letters extended deeper beyond it.

    Is this considered a mint error?

    Look at the lighting.

    The highlights and shadows say that it is raised.

    Looks incuse to me, based on lighting, and as such, not a die gouge.

    Better pics would help.
