Now that I've seen the obverse Iam going to go out on the limb and say I think there was some kind of debris in the striking chamber.  |

I am on the fence with this one... my gut instinct tells me that it is some kind of post-strike damage, possibly could have occurred at the mint...

Well it would have to be the mint since this came out of a Mint wrapped roll (unless they get wrapped somewhere else not sure about the process). What confuses me is the 5 is totally intact and I don't see and copper which I believe I should see with this deep of a scratch correct?

No clue about that one either as I also see no copper.

Just took a peek at the caribou scratch... what about this, maybe its not a scratch but a partial clip? Notice the rim nick before the line on the caribou.. also its the exact curve of a quarter. Thoughts SPP (you seem to be an expert in this area?

That is why I asked to see the other side... definitely not a partial clip.

Maybe is got jammed with some other coin... and the other coin has the other part of the clip :). Its from a quarter I'm pretty sure of that.

It's Rolling Machine Damage more likely than anything else. Look at the caribou's eye,that didn't happen by strike-thru, or struck over gouge. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning...
