It looks very promising to be a Lamination. can we see a clear close up of the area in question plus an image of the reverse?

Posting the weight of this coin could be useful too. Thx!

You can have a lamination that doesn't go all the way through the clad layer. I do agree though that it looks more like a strikethrough.

Struck through a piece of lamination? Might be Pareidolia messing with me again but it looks like the base of an extra Y (LIBERTY) raised in relief pointing at the 9 of the date. The bottom/underside of a lamination can have incuse elements that, if part of a "struck through", could produce a raised area. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

If the weight is normal, I would agree with a struck through debris/lamination.

Would the devices be still visible if it was struck through debris? Lamination don't always expose the copper.I guess the weight will help. Below is a perfect example of a Lam I sold recently, no Copper is exposed!  Edited by Chase007

My scales are Postal scales, Weight,.02LBS, or 10g or .010kg or 0.0.3 lbs:oz    There is for sure missing material in the defect area. The red is refection of my shirt. Hope these weights make sense. Webekin Edited by Webekin

007 a61 is not clad. A postage scale is not fine enough to weigh coins.

Ok used my reloading scales, weight in grains = 172.1 converted to grams = 11.151892, or near .19 grams short.

Keep in mind + or - mint tolerances, I'm holding to "struck through"
