The gouge is called a contact mark. If you paid more than face value for it, then it would be an error.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

If you want to make any progress, I suggest you stop looking at random coins. Looking at every random coin as if it might be an error will get you nowhere. If you want to learn about errors, you need to read and study photos of known error coins. If you search through your pocket change without any knowledge, you will only find damaged junk.

No, something hit into the coin after it was made so it’s just considered damage and not an error.

Just another damaged quarter worth 25 cents.
