Struck through debris.

Looks like a struck through, debris not retained. Some further evidence on the reverse. Cheers, RickO

What about Lamination?

ricko

@Coin_nut1977 ... I can see that as a possible contributing factor... but cannot conclusively say that. Perhaps @FredWeinberg can give some analysis on this one. Cheers, RickO

My first thought was lamination also seeing all the small cracks around the area. I'm definitely not an expert in this area tho'.

Looks like a strike-through lamination to me.

Why does it look like there's a D on Lincoln's head? Struck through struck fragment along with a lamination? Wouldn't be totally out of line to have a small batch of defective planchets go through the press all at about the same time.
