    Struck through? I really don't know but it looks cool. I'd keep it if I found it.

    It looks to be a delamination.

    Agree. It looks like a lamination that came detached. I consider this to be a major error although I'm not sure if it's worth the cost of slabbing. Very cool error and well worth keeping. B)

    I think (operative word) it looks more like a struck through than delamination....Would like to see an input from @FredWeinberg on this one....Cheers, RickO

    Possibly, but need to see the reverse. If it is normally struck then it is likely a struck through or lamination as others have suggested. Reverse surface deformation matching the obverse would indicate damage after the strike.

    I would lean toward struck-through, as the surface is too regular and straight to be a lamination.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    I'm down for struck through (wood), but I'm usually wrong...

    Based on the reverse and the weakness beside the mark, I vote mint error.

    PMD, IMO based on the reverse photo.

    Thank you for the additional picture, I now believe your coin is post mint damage, IMHO someone arced electricity across the coin causing the copper to melt.

    If it’s PMD, then I overpaid. My thoughts were that this was struck on a defective planchet.
