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

thanks for the help guys, my memory is not what it used to be

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
