1830 LM-2 Capped Bust Half Dime: 14-star variety?

This one has some interesting things going on - die cracks, weak strike, the obverse even gets a nice cud later on (when it's married with a different reverse to become 1830 LM-5). But as I was checking this out, I noticed what looks like a star between Liberty's mouth and ear (immediately left of the earlobe). Any other stargazers out there see that, or am I just star-struck?

(Pro tip: you can right click on the image and "Open in new tab" if your browser won't show the big version. Or you can find the coin on GC).
