I'm thinking it's neither. It's certainly not a mint error, there's not much in the production process that would cause this appearance. It looks like it might've got caught in some kind of piece of machinery that had gears or teeth of some kind. Whatever it was happened a long time ago because there is even patina across the face of the coin. you can trust that it's damage and does not add value to the coin.

Most inquiries we get are about circulated coins made after 1971, and/or coins where people mistake post-mint damage and wear for "errors". You can expect us to affirm these are face value. We ask that before you write and submit such questions, to PLEASE first read through our existing postings and our "what it's worth" primers.
