I received my 2024 10 Coin Silver Proof set this week. After looking the coins over I noticed that there is an unusual  mark on the Jefferson Nickel just below the date. I was curious if anyone else that has either one of the 2024 Jefferson Proofs sets have noticed any unusual marks on theirs. Here are a few of pictures. The mark is just below the 2 in the date. In the image it appears raised and frosted on some of the images, but it is a mark in the field, it does not appear as a scratch, imo.

Is it raised or just a gauge?

It is not raised. I guess you could say a gauge, but each end comes to a blunt stop and not pointed ends

My 2024 Proof doesn't have it. Sure it's not in the plastic?

I am positive it is not in the plastic.

Hard to think of an object in the mint proof coin packaging room that could make a ding that shape. i tend away from pmd.

maybe a fragment of something got  on the planchet prior to striking?
