Tire mounting

Would this tire mount fine? I don't believe it would, but I want to be sure! I appreciate any input.

Can't quite tell from the photo, but if that's a chunk out of the bead, then: NO! Don't mount it.

I've actually seen tires like that on a few occasions, it's basically just loose rubber on the inside of the bead but the bead itself is steel wire so it really doesn't affect anything although it looks bad.
