Hi,
Another minor error/variety post, but I was curious to see if this is considered a struck through or lamination error?

I would lean towards lamination.
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
Or maybe a delamination where the piece fell off.

If it is raised it is probably glue.
If it's incised, it could have been a rim burr.

Without a doubt it's a rim burr.
Now we can have a long discussion about whether a rim burr is a type of lamination, a type of strike-through, both, or neither.
It's incised. So this is a rim burr. The first I'm hearing of this. Thank you! Again, probably a negligible premium but interesting nevertheless.
I thought the burr had to be there. I don't see it now. I'm not an expert. Time to call the big guns. @FredWeinberg @Byers

No doubt a rim burr. A rim burr occurs during the upsetting process. That's where a blank, aka Type 1, gets the raised edge that's on a planchet, aka Type 2.
Struck thru a rim burr.
This one looks similar but it's on the reverse.

This is a struck-in rim burr. I've seen this on a lot of clad half dollars, but not on silver.
