Yes I believe it’s a die chip but it’s listed as a variety on this wed site at least. And appears to have a good premium in value if it was in better shape.
Sorry about the poor picture but I’m hoping I can improve things with practice.

Sorry now I see picture I realize I should have cropped them

I’m trying to add pictures as a New Year’s resolution to learn how.
If it works can any one tel me a value of this coin, I know it’s not in very good shape but..

Looks to me like intentionally damage coin. Maybe intentionally damaged is a strong term . But man made damage
