I am can't tell what this is, could you remove the coin from the plastic sheet and post another image? It would help eliminate the glare. Thanks!

My personal opinion tells me this coin was caught in a coin counter wheel. So, that wouldn't be a mint error.

That was my thought. Wanted to see if the rev was the same before I said anything. :w

If it was a die crack then it wouldn't looked scratched or gouge like this. A coin gettig stuck in a counting machine will impart marks sinilar this one and I have had it happen to my coins.

The coins are sent to a company that rolls the coins for the US Mint and this is a extremely common on ends coins when it comes to bank wrapped rolls. The surface of the coin is gouged and in an obvious circular pattern, and I am 100% positive this does not occur during the minting process and is post mint damage.

I have ran so many coins through counting machines and rolling coins that this can happen often, coins jam easily.
