Are you sure the mark is on the coin and not on the capsule?  And if on the coin why not simply return it for an exchange?

In order to take the picture, I carefully removed half of the capsule to better photograph the defect. The defect is also visible with a loupe and coin in hand. 
 

also, because the coin is the 2020 V75 Proof ASE, there is no exchanging. It was hard enough to get one on the day it went on sale as I am sure others could attest to on these boards.  

Here is a photo of the coin in question. Misspoke with stating the reverse; it is the obverse. You can see it between the I B E. 

I have a few proof coins that I would like to submit for grading but my v75 ASE has what appears to be a suction cup smudge in the field on the reverse. I purchased the coin from the Mint so I am certain it came from the manufacturing/packaging process.

Has anyone else seen these in the past? 

If so, does anyone have an idea of how these affect the final grade?

Thanks in advance!
