1964 Kennedy Half Dollar Reverse Struck Thru?

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.
