Looks like a smaller version of a die gouge like found on wounded eagle sac
A die gouge would be raised
wouldn't a die gouge result in a raised surface. Pic seems to be an incuse defect.
Governments can print currency. Only the people can print faith in it — and they’re running low on ink.
It appears to be incuse on the pictures.... Can you confirm whether raised or incuse?? Cheers, RickO
Incuse thanks for your input. Keep em coming please

My guess would be a small strike-thru.
Here’s a picture from eBay. Sorry it’s a screenshot. I don’t see it can’t tell if that’s a little mark. 🤓

since it is on more than one specimen, I vote strike thru. There are likely more. Will be interesting to see if the TPGs reduce the grade by considering it a tick/hit on the coin.

I honestly don’t know I would like to learn Is a strike through an error or it’s own designation. I believe I’ve seen it noted on slabs. Thanks 🤓🙀

Technically an error

Are we sure this is not part of the design? It's on both of my proof S ASEs it's also present on my bullion type2 ASE. My W coins are with PCGS now so I can't look at them. I have tried to take a photo of the bullion coin, but I can't get the picture to show enough detail.
This is the best I could get on the bullion coin, it's pcgs ms70
This is on my 2021 MS70 bullion eagle Type 2 as mentioned above by @ndeagles . Here is a close-up. It seems to be as struck and part of the dies on these.

And here is the 2021-W Type 2 proof

It is frosted
We have found various similar marks on ase Wproof Sproof and the frosted bullion issue. 3different coins similar marks. I’m going to dig out my W proof and photo it if similar. Thanks 🤓🙀

My W proof also has that. I think it may just be part of the design.

I just checked my raw Type 2 bullion, it looks like it is part of the design.
It appears on all of my S and W proof coins. It is a design feature. No error.

Note - this post is from a thread about 21EMN. However, the poster did not explicitly identify the coin type (i.e., T2 Proof-W, T2 Proof-S, etc.).
That box of (10) without the gouge were S proofs.
