  Sorry, but that looks like a foreign substance on the coin, perhaps solder.

  I'd have to agree, if a CUD, the numerals would also be absent because a CUD is by definition (mine at least) the absence of a die due to a breakage.

  Agree with both posts above.
  
  It's either solder, or some other
  type of liquid....but it's not a
  cracked or broken die error.......
