1921 Morgan lamination or strike through?

Hi guys, I have this certain Morgan Dollar with many die cracks. On reverse and obverse. My question is about what's on the reverse @ 11:30. Would you guys consider this a lamination or a strike through?
I do detect a slight die clash behind the actual area? Maybe not? What do you guys think? Thank you.




Here is the area in question





"Jesus died for you and for me, Thank you,Jesus"!!!

    I don’t think it’s a strike through. Looks more like a planchet flaw/crack. If a layer of metal peeled off in that spot (a more severe form of what you see) you would have a lamination.

    I would feel a lamination with maybe a die chip. Interesting regardless.

    About a die clash - the 1 in the date seems to be close to that area.........

    Looks like a tiny lamination. Like the die cracks a lot.

    It looks like there was/is a planchet impurity and lost during striking with the remaining defect the indication of where it was. Cheers, RickO
