That as others have said, is a cud. Actually, many consider it a die variety and not an error as such, because it occurred on the die. Because it's on the die, it "repeats itself", and so there can be hundreds of the exact same anomaly and so can be attributed with a die number. Nice example.

Isn't it supposed to be spelled "loupe" . . . . . ?

A flash back moment.
I wanted one of these back in the late 70's.
The dealer and I could not come to terms.
Never got one.

He's thinking. "Holy crap, if this cud gets any worse, I'm history!"

Tibor

He's thinking:maybe I should take a hard pass on going to the theater tonight.

At Cincinnati ANA in the early 80s I saw three at one table for $125 each. Mid 70's dates.

1972 was the banner year for this type of cud. Some cents show the complete progression of the die edge breaking off.

Same here until last year I found a 1984-D. (I think......either that or a 1983-D.)
