  Looks like a lamination.

  It's either a lamination error or post-strike damage. It's hard to tell which from the photo.

  ya, i've seen a few coins with pmd that looked nearly exactly like lamination and had to get the right lighting angles to confirm

  It's going through the botton serifs of the letters of UNITED so it appears to be a die crack.

  my take on this is that during the cutting out of the blanks this one was not cut right or something and was minted with the extra metal attached
  
  die crack doesn't fit the overall look of the area
  
  lamination most likely
