Error, Damaged, or other? (Not my coin)

I offered my help and I get this image.
Most here knows I'm not into error coins, this coin isn't mine.
what is up with this coin in the area at the corner of the mouth?
What's the correct terminology for this kind of issue?
Does it add any collectible value to the coin?
Thanks in advance for any helpful input :)

Same coin, just a smaller image.

    It is a die crack with various stages of progression. Others will be able to add more detail, I only know very little from the brief mentions here.

    I also notice a little something going on in the hair just above the ear too?

    That looks to be either the design or a contact mark depending on what you’re looking at.

    It's so blurry, but looks like a die chip in the corner of the mouth, but not sure without better pics.

    Here is another picture that come along for a comparison, I believe they came in the same roll, it is a different coin!

    I've requested some better images, I suggested less micro (not so close) but sharper in hopes I can do better with enlarging the sharper image.
    We'll see what I get.

    For our purposes, the images you have are fine. There are die chips on the corner of the mouth - this is a known issue with these 2022 quarters. Do an eBay search and you will see many similar examples:

    Pic 3 isn't the same coin, its another coin that came from the same roll, it's a comparison coin from the same batch!

    Do you have a way of capturing a good image of any one of them, without a big hassle of course!
    So, with one of them in your hand what would you call the issue?

    Okay, so this is looking to be a common issue with the 2022 Quarters, realistically do these have any extra collectable value? or just whatever can honestly be gotten out of one of them?
    I mean everything on Fleabay is extremely RARE and valuable :D
    Also, thanks for the link!

    The story of how this coin came about.
    I ran across a worthless 55 DDO on the bay that wasn't really a double die at all. I contacted the seller (nicely) and made them aware of what it was & wasn't.
    Well, at first that didn't fair fair well, he got mad and called me a troll, bla...ble....
    So, I messaged back and ask him what was I trolling for?, bla...bla.....
    Well, he broke down and apologized for calling me names, and he realized what I was talking about after he took a second look, bla..bla...
    Now I'm his coin guy :#:D
    He said him and his wife were retired painters and for a hobby and fun he started coin roll hunting and he wasn't any kind of long time coin collector. He said any money (funds) that they've gotten from these odd coins (error coin) they we're putting towards a grandchild, he ask me if he had some other coin question later on if he could ask me (I was thinking Lincoln Cents) I said he could.
    After he got over his bubble burst of the 55 he seems to be on the up & up.

    @MarkW63 When I get home I can snap some pics. Probably won't be until 10:30 eastern time
    Looks to be a small die crack. Mine look almost exactly like yours.

    A few post up "IKesT" provided a search link on ebay for these quarters and the die chips, so there was some good images there, so I don't think you need to do any picture taken for this thread.
    I appreciate your offer, Thanks!
