My guess would be a lam, but it could also be struck through a detached lam from another coin. Weight will help.

Weight would be a start. (Nice to see others are picking up on this now) If the weight close to normal, I'm thinking damage. But if the weight is reduced, then it could be lamination. It makes me wonder if it is something wooden, like part of a toothpick. You might measure that with your coin?

  How's your weekend coop? I got the most accurate scales I could find, it weighed a nickle at 5 grams. I'm not sure what size toothpicks were in '46? especially a used one, but it's mighty close! Let me know if theres anything else I can do. |

It looks like a straight up classic lamination strip peel to me, where some sort of foreign material got onto the strip of metal being rolled out and caused missing metal...

Back then there were also flat toothpicks. About the same length, but a lot thinner. It's been years since I've seen one of these though. The round ones were more popular ones.

I mean Dearborn, lol I could picture someone coming back from lunch with a toothpick in their mouth and it "accidentally" falls out now that Coop said that!
I guess my next question would be, what would you do if this was in your hands?

So it can not be a toothpick for how did the 4 ,U ,and S get on the coin ,they would of been in the toothpick  and the photo with the toothpick show a other 46 with damage in the same spot A nice clear zoomed in close up of the 4 and U,S will show if it's a lam. you will see if it peeled off or not. just saying  good luck |

 Thanks cookie, Yes, I used this coin to hold up the end of the toothpick and noticed when I was uploading the photo. These coins came out of a bag I had collected when I was 10, I'm 54 now. I'm sorry about the unclear photos, I'm going to get a coin scope, just haven't had the funds. I've recently started focusing my interest back into coins. I appreciate you input! |

Certainly looks like a good old fashion lamination to me.
Slightly underweight seems to confirm it.

With the amount of circulation wear on this cent...makes me lean towards a de-lamination error and that's how I'd label the 2x2.
