I think that coin has a lamination problem. Try a search to see some examples of die cracks

Looks like a die crack to me. Metal is poured and then rolled to make the correct thickness. So if there is a weakness in the metal it will peel off. When this happens, we call that a lamination. and we sometimes refer to what peeled off as lamination peel, meaning something that has fallen off the core stock. We refer to this as a lamination issue. Zinc planchets: http://jardenzinc.com/techdata/MDC-...ge-FINAL.pdfFrom the people who make the Cent planchets for the U.S. Mint |

No. They don't separate/laminate like the copper/steel/nickel planchets. The disturbance on them is usually a split plating issue or a struck through with a piece of copper plating from another coin. Anyway that is what I've seen so far. Interesting article on how they can make other denominations planchets and in different colors. The article also mentioned that the zinc planchets do not need to be annealed. They are ready to go after they are bought by the U.S. Mint.
