  Looks intentional to me, like someone was just fooling around seeing how they could modify that digit.

  Random damage is, by definition, random. Anything is possible.

  Thanks,

  I was thinking it looked like somebody changed the digit to an arabic character, but I couldnt see any kind of tooling in and around the digit, but technology has improved greatly over the years so most likely that what it was
