Coin is a Morgan dated 1882...

It would help if you were to be more specific about what you’re asking about and also what type of coin are we looking at. I’m going to assume, you’re talking about that point in the crotch of the 8. Not knowing what coin it is there’s no way for comparisons. At least that’s the way I see it. Maybe someone else is more versed and can answer it for you. I can’t even give it a WAG.

Yes, it's a die chip and it is common to see on the 8's of Morgan dollars. (Commonly called spiked 8's)

Looks like a die chip to me.

Yep, die chip. In numismatics, you never stop learning.

Looks like a die chip, not uncommon on Morgan dollars... No numismatic premium. Cheers, RickO

Been enjoying this hobby for 65 years now and I learn something quite regularly on this forum alone, besides from books.
Definite die chip common to Morgan's as previously said.
