I think it is post strike damage.

Since the 4 appears to be flattened as well, I agree with Will. Saw this earlier,but figured it was meant for Simon

Coin has corrosion and may have been replated at one time. I agree that it could have easily taken a hit and was scraped at some point.

Sorry Dave, I'm not seeing any split serifs or RPM here. Keep up the hunt!
