  Impurities in the metal mixing and stress from the copper being rolled to create the thickness needed for cents. Very common.

  I've seen a few like this, I think it is called a "clamshell lamination."

  It's a nice example of a lamination,
  but it's not a clamshell.
  
  A clamshell split planchet is also
  due to the improper metal mixture,
  but the metal splits on the horizontal
  edge of the coin, not on the surfaces.......
