    I can't tell if it's in plating or a chip, plating issues are often rounded, chips can be sharper.

    The closer you look the more chips and cracks you'll see.

    The reason I say they're quality issues is that it's normal. Like with us, as we get old we get wrinkles as we age.
    They only use dies for a day or a few days because it's the number of strikes until they start wearing, cracking, chipping. If those things didn't happen they could make a batch of dies and use them all year. In the first hours or day or so they look fine, after that the quality issues start to show so that means a lot of coins will have those defects.
