Fascinating find. Find it roll hunting, or in change, or?

Most likely struck through a detached clad layer...

A detached clad layer from another previously struck quarter?

However, I can't rule out a strike through a late-stage partial (off-center) die cap.

The is where my mind went to initially.

The clad layer would have separated from an unstruck planchet. I favor the struck-through-clad-layer scenario for two reasons. First, the strength of the ghost image is consistent with this diagnosis. Second, partial die caps seldom last long enough for a strong ghost image to bleed through.
