Found my first Trime today. Did not realize what it was until I got home and removed the frozen mud I guess it got bent when I pried out the plug, how thin and small they are. I feel bad about the damage but love the coin and hobby, going to keep it up till the shovel won't cut into the frozen dirt.
Great find! Don't know of one ever being found in my area?

Congratulations on getting your first Trime.
From looking at the photos it almost looks like an old crack on the date side and on the lll side it looks like an old ding on the rim. (The photo is a tad blurry)
When these thin silvers are in the fields they get dinged up from the equipment working the dirt for a century or more.

Not an easy coin to detect that's for sure, especially the ones that are only 75% silver like yours. I was lucky enough to find one and was shocked at how small it was. I had never even seen one before firsthand. Congrats on a rare find!
