Misplaced metal or does the "C" just like the "E"?

Thought this to be a bit peculiar, usually with misplaced metal, it shows better where it came from. I suppose it could come from anywhere though, even another coin. I'll bet about now, you guys wish I would find a variety of some sort!

Thanks for looking, Jon.

Me thinks thou hast found a die gouge, kind sir!

I did not think about a die gouge Cliff. Thanks! Now go forth and have ye a flagon of beer!!

Jon I think it's a die crack that has developed into a chip, although it does look different in it's curved state.

you two crack me up!

Die gouge... Cool... Remember the Flagon with the Dragon has the brew that is true

Viv has it right. It is a die crack, not a gouge.

Thank you Jim, I just learned it myself. A recent RPM I found had similar die cracks on the reverse

Thank you too Bob! Nice to see you!

[makecents]

Thanks again everybody!! Bob, your knowledge is unsurpassed and Viv is calling them all out!!

Good eye Viv.
Think I see the crack now, barely touching the C along the base of the crack. Kind of looks like a serpent along the left side?
We don't see smooth cracks like this very often.Well done.
