To my eye, it appears that the "AMERI" has been ground, sanded, or 
scraped off.   Compare the coin surface on the left side (which is 
pitted and rough) with the coin surface on the right side (which is 
relatively smooth).  Also it appears the tip of the feathers in that 
area seem to have been ground as well.

I'd suspect you have an altered coin.

I received one reply that made sense.

Debris in the dies during striking.
