1904 Indian Cent with odd rim

The rim at the date appears to have some raised material that I first thought were early stage die breaks before cuds formed.
However the details of it are so smooth that they almost appear to be detail from another design.
The rim is odd as well appears to be shallow in the middle at the area affected.

Ahhh, so pressed in the ring then stamped with its design, later removed.
That answers that. Thanks Fred!

I'm glad you got that answer, 'cause otherwise I'd still be scratchin' my head over that one.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
those strange 'things' you see on
the flattened rims are letters/design
of the die that pressed it in the aluminum
outer 'ring'.
Thanks for the priceless insight.
