Once again, I don't know if it is a die chip or not. I have never seen a die chip in this area and it is usually not susceptible to die failure. It appears to be a plating blister to me, but only you have the coin in hand. Have you attempted to press down on the area to see if it collapses?
I also do not know what you mean by it being very sophisticated. Whether it is a blister or even the off chance of bring a die chip, they are not sophisticated at all. These things happen often.Bob Piazza

It's the first time I've seen a coin like this, maybe there's no other coin like it, it's a die chip, and it's as sophisticated as it was made. It looks like it deserves to be in a magazine,Comment

If it is a die chip, then there are thousands (maybe tens of thousands) of them out there. The die continues striking coins until it is removed. Every single coin would have this very same chip. If it is a chip, the chip could get bigger with continued striking. A die chip can happen at any time during the striking process, so it isn't 'made' per se. It is a result of the die breaking down during the striking process. If it is a plating blister, it would be unique, but neither of these are sophisticated nor worthy of a magazine article. Die chips and plating blisters happen hundreds and thousands of times.Bob Piazza

CONECA (pronounced: CŌ´NECA) is a national numismatic organization devoted to the education of error and variety coin collectors. CONECA focuses on many error and variety specialties, including doubled dies, Repunched mintmarks, multiple errors, clips, double strikes, off-metals and off-centers—just to name a few. In addition to its website, CONECA publishes an educational journal, The Errorscope, which is printed and mailed to members bimonthly. CONECA offers a lending library, examination, listing and attribution services; it holds annual meetings at major conventions (referred to as Errorama) around the country.
CONECA was formed through a merger of CONE and NECA in early 1983. To learn more about the fascinating HISTORY OF THE ERROR HOBBY and THE HISTORY OF CONECA, we encourage you to visit us our main site Here
