Die chip. It's a so-called BIE error, not uncommon in that era.
It looks like this is related to a die chip, which can create the small extra mark seen on some Lincoln cents. The BIE variety is a known type of mint error caused by a chip on the die between the letters of LIBERTY. These types of errors are fairly common on certain dates, but they are still interesting pieces to find and learn about. Thanks for sharing it with the group.
Die chip, its somewhat common during that time
When I first started to collect Lincolns back in grammer school, these BIE die chip coins, were a treasure find for me.
I have about a roll of them and they still bring a smile when I rediscover them in my storage box in the back of my safe.
