This is out of my depth -- I purchased the coin recently out of interest.
My best guess is that it's a cracked planchet + a lamination? The planchet crack extends to the reverse, through NIT in UNITED.

I think you hit the nail on the head. That’s how I would describe it. More generically it was struck on a defective planchet.
Yes i agree, struck on planchet with lamination.
I like it. That's a great looking piece.

Thanks everyone!
Nice score, I like
Definitely appears to be a defective planchet.... Great pictures, especially that edge shot. Cheers, RickO
Why is the edge reeded?
