    I think it may be considered a massive die clash reverse?

    .
    just so you can see with a few degrees rotation, the profile from the obv is the likely culprit.

    I will try to line it up and see I thought it was the upper part of the leg which has the same or very similar profile.

    That would make sense. There is clashing up near E PLURIBUS UNUM. However, I have never seen a clash mark in this position before. Could have been a tilted die involved.
