1972 D Kennedy error? Planchet lamination defect?

Just came out of a customer roll.
Always willing to put myself out there to learn something... so I'll go first...

At first glance I thought maybe struck through retained rim burr from the copper layer.
Now I'm thinking defective planchet with a lamination issue, because I'm not seeing any tearing or gouging from an impact or something.
Teach me something. Please :blush:

    Kinda looks like a copper strip lamination. Or more likely a strike through.

    Perhaps a thin strip of the copper bent/flaked away from the edge when still a planchet.... and was then struck by the die? Looks like a neat find to me.
