Is this a mint error? I found this in my piggy bank and wonder how it got this way.

Re: 1981 D Quarter with 'bump'
i need a better pic to give you a 100% definitive answer here,.......
:eureka:
but,...i've seen soooooo many with these "bumps", that were imparted

Short burst of intense heat, localized in one are, by a welder arc can cause this; and it's post mint damage.
