  Looks like a munched prong to me.
  
  "Munched Prong" would also be a good name for a Vietnamese dish.

  I see the prong issue but nothing unusual at 9:00 on the coin.

  Thanks. I wanted to make sure there was nothing under the Munched Prong that was damage.

  Either Munched (common) or Scrunched (rare) Prong error. Don't have the diagnostics handy, but you might be onto some big bucks here...

  That is actually an excessively rare prong error and is worth a huge premium over a normal prong. Start the promotion!!!
