I happened to find this particular piece among my collection while taking pictures. None of other pieces are like this.
What you can see on his head, is it some sort of damage or production error?
I’d appreciate your input.

    @Parttimeseller99 Can you take it out of the plastic holder and give us a close focused pic? Might be a strike thru but it's not clear enough. Peace Roy

    It looks like something contaminated the surface and overtime it's corroded

    That's a good thing, since I think it is a carbon spot or other impairment.

    Thank you for your answers.
    I suppose it is some kind of damage.
    I can’t seem to take it out of the case. This is the better pic.

    Is it possibly on the inner side of the coin capsule?

    Break out your pocket knife, those airtites can be snug. Anything going on the rev? George's melon is not a Gorbachev but it does resemble Australia. Peace Roy

    There’s a seam there somewhere

    I use a dull utility knife blade to open them.

    Do not try to clean it.
