die chip

If it's a Lump on the edge is a "Cud"

A cud on a coin is a damaged area resembling a blob at the edge of the coin. Cuds result from a piece of the perimeter of the die breaking away. They can be any shape depending on the shape of the piece that broke off the die.

Not sure on that one ?

Die chips were pretty common on 1950's Lincoln cents, on the wheat ears on the reverse and on the date and legends on the obverse were common spots.

I don’t know anything about the penny, but I love that scope you are using. Just ordered one. 👍
Thanks,
