Sorry to say that these are not errors. Looks like someone went after it with some scissors.

Looks like post mint damage. Strange to see the same exact marks on both sides almost as though the coin was ran through a machine.

Tin-snips! Someone has tried to cut the thing in half!

How do I know? Cos I've tried tin-snips myself, in an effort to do a cross section of plated coins... a Grinder works better, followed by a file...

Just don't ask! ;)
