Isn't an error a mistake of some sorts - wrong die or mis-strike - but not a small "ding".
If a digit was missing that would be an error but a small hole ???

"An error coin is a coin that was manufactured incorrectly by a mint."

Is it worth more than a perfect coin? I'd keep it in case it ever was.

Always cast your vote - Spoil your ballot slip. Put 'Spoilt Ballot - I do not consent.' These votes are counted. If you do not do this you are consenting to the tyranny. None of them are fit for purpose. 
A tyranny relies on propaganda and force. Once the propaganda fails all that's left is force.

Sorry if this isn't helpful but my 2014 ASE looks different.

The letting is much more 'defined' on the motto and date. Finer.

Have to suggest you do all the tests. Hope it is ok.

Defects on coins could make a coin more valuable.  It all depends on what coin and who out there collects them.  Also - if there are multiples of the same problem out there then the market will realize it and it would get published on youtube and other mediums.  

If it really is an error - I would recommend that you send it in to PCGS or NGC - Have them slab it and state what the error is - if any - and then you could list it on ebay as an error coin and see what you can get for it.

From doing a quick search it seems that the only errors found on this coin seem to be the "reverse-struck thru" error.  

Here is an example

Do people really pay extra for these manufacturing cock-ups? Crazy world, should be just melted down.

I'm surprised some enterprising Mint employee hasn't thought of deliberately producing some and selling them.

MS69 and a great big 'hole' in the coin. But we must remember the grade is how close to the state the coin would have left the mint in. So all those dings on the Queen's right cheek on the Queen's Beasts from the poor design of the coin and clumsy mint handling should be ignored [in theory].

i tend to agree. i would like an HQ image of the full coin view both sides. The ASE do tend to have a matt satin type finish, not as crisp as many others coins, which smooths the surface out somewhat. i actually like this look. i wish they would change the design and then they would be a much more collectible coin.

Interesting viewpoint. I guess it depends on whether the marks are deemed to be caused by handling in the Mint or from close contact with others in the tubes once they've left the Mint?

I believe the extensive bag marks on mint Morgans are deemed normal and ignored.

Don't think if they were able to produce them - they would get very far in  getting them by all the metal detectors and other security at the mints. Plus - they would get locked up. Also, Most mint employees probably no nothing about numismatics - thus all the accidents happening when they take their 25 minute cookie and milk breaks. ?

I am not convinced the scuffs on Her Majesty's cheeks are due to rattling in coin tubes.

When the Mint released its first run of 999 silver Britannias I bought several sheets with every coin in a flimsy plastic cell.

Almost every coin was badly scuffed and dinged in many places.

I imagine a production line, stamping coins that pass on a conveyer belt then drop into a hopper. Every coin takes a bash and some get impressions of the reeded edges since pure silver is softer than Britannia alloy. I think they haven't changed their process much looking at the scuffs on my Queens Beasts. Real pity when you compare to the Perth Mint bullion coins nicely capsuled.
