    This looks more like pre-strike damage on the planchet. Perhaps a lamination but on the planchet. See the marks coming from the dome in the same direction. The big flaw is probably a spot that could not fill the die design completely.

    Good photos, good to have both sides. Interesting error.

    Sort of looks like Monticello is on fire. Front burned and caved in and flames/smoke from the dome being blown by the wind.

    Friday too much caffeine imagination... :D
