    Those are called 'rim nicks' -
    it's damage on the coin;
    you can see where whatever
    it was that caused the rim
    damage also went into the field
    on the upper right side of the nicks.

    It's a damaged coin, and not an error,
    I'm sorry to say.

    That background looks familiar. Or maybe not.

    Now if the wood grain that is on the table were on the coin, you'd have something.
