Opinion on a sovereign patina and strange hit

[Von]

Hello, can i have your opinion about this sovereign patina -color and about the strange hit/defect on horse chest?

thanks

Patina is normal/fine, I've had it on many a Gillick. Dent I cannot speak to, other than something was dropped on it?

[Von]

Thanks. Yes patina worried  me because the two tone color, but seller had many of them of same year so i guess that maybe they were rolled in a tube directly from mint, who know. 
About that defect yes could be something that hit hard the surface. I think ill ask fir a change.

Very specific ding, probably something from being minted?🤔

[CoinCupboard]

Definitely a strange and specific ding as said above. 

I've had a look at pictures of a number of other 1968's there and didn't see any like this.

Would need a better photo to tell whether the defect is a strike though or just a dent.

Seller have some of same year but only this one with that dent. I changed it .

My worries was more for patina. Thanks.

 

looking the dent with seller glass make me think it was a mint issue, because a direct hit has to be very strong to produce a dent like that, look similar to a bubble or something present on the striking surface (sorry for my English)
