Yep... that's pretty obvious!
Good one!
A booger if ever I saw one.... Cheers, RickO
Could be a nose piercing with a little diamond.
You may want to change "bugger" to "booger" in your title. The word "bugger" has a specific meaning that I'm sure you never intended.

Give it time, it'll be in an NGC booger slab before long.
Even coins get allergies. Some tissues will turn that roosie red.

Are you sure that is not some biological materiel on the surface of the coin?
If enough examples from the die can be found, the OP's coin could well be considered the discovery piece for the "Seasonal Allergies" variety.
There is an 1872 $10 (I think now in a PCGS PR64CAM holder) that first appeared in Wolfson (?) and later a mid-80's Stacks sale (or two or ?). It had an deep long curlicue obverse field lint mark that reached from almost the nose to almost the stars.
More than problematic
It became known to frequent auction attendees as the "Elephant Booger" Ten.
The provenance includes the poorly-curated "I Brake for Train Wrecks" Matte Proof Gold Type Set and the macabre "Property of a Suicidal Gentleman - Part Deux"
What's the big deal?
Everyone gets a runny nose sometimes.

I would think that if you are going to be on a coin you would do a quick look in the mirror first.

Ok, you asked for it: here’s my “booger Bust Quarter”. While you may laugh (it’s ok to hit “lol” below), I bought it as a 64 with a CAC, and I liked this coin so much, I sent it back to PCGS via Reconsideration. Despite the booger, they liked it too, and added on a “+”. Since the whole grade number didn’t change, for just $3 (current pricing is now $5), CAC automatically reapplied the sticker.
This is the only one of this date graded MS64+ by PCGS (only 8 finer).

Closest I have to a booger nose. Well struck and a planchet flaw.
Thought I recalled seeing that in a couple of auction catalogs.

Funny place for a die chip.

This one is somewhat similar-1922 VAM-12a, the "mustache" variety. Image courtesy of VAMWorld.
