I am having trouble trying to determine why the A in what looks like a second strike is incuse.

    Partial brockage from an off-center strike.

    You can tell from the reverse that this one only received a single strike everything happened in that single event.

    As I queried in the other error post it looks like some type of fold-over partial indent.

    I agree with this explanation, very cool looking error.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.
