  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.
