Looks like the die cracked, out from the queens mouth, then something from the die got stuck and took the brunt of the force, causing those 5 deep rectangular gashes ,.... maybe that was enough to make the wording and date very superficial or not there at all.
A nice close-up through a Jewelers loupe of the unworded and undated area would be great to see, as my imagination is producing some letters there, but that may just be due to photo quality and eyesight on my behalf.
Don't sell it just yet would be my advice, no matter what the offer is. 8)
