Coop, to your comment that reverse was struck through... If it was, I think the memorial base there would have been flattened more with less detail.
Is is possible that there was a void there already in the planchet first and when the coin was struck, the base formed a bit -- but only so much because of the existing depression? I'm thinking that way because of coins I've seen with similar voids in the planchet in clear fields. They have that rough texture...
Can you comment on that possibility, please? Thanks in advance.

It looks like the planchet was imperfect.
I do see something on the '1' in the date and the 'LI' in liberty....
Lot's of old couches and chairs filled with old coins and old jewelry, Drew. Next time you see a really old couch or chair set on the curb for pick up, stop, pull out your pocket knife, cut the underside liner, and fill your pockets.
