Thank you all for the replies.
I am really thinking strike through.
Maybe somebody is really crying because they lost their play-doh

There is a link posted below the photo. It had an error preventing it from showing correctly, but I fixed it.

I would think that the OP's ASE would be a post mint lamination failure, because I feel certain that such a major defect would not have been sent out by the Mint. Have to put it up for open auction, to find out it's real market value. If it were mine, I would probably not wish to do that. |

I have enough information now to know it is not a lamination error.
Has to be a strike through.

There's three examples on this page (two images, one ha.com link) with purple or blue color. What causes that? Is the metal underneath different, or is it the substance being struck?

For the coin I posted, it is just the lighting and/or how the picture was taken.
In hand the area of the strike though is silver in color

It appears the coin in question might be an example of a "Struck Through Plastic" error.
From Jon Sullivan's web site:
Struck Through Plastic
This error type is mostly found on bullion, and to a lesser degree on other modern mint products. Struck through plastic coins have a shiny, thin, even strike through which usually has a few straight lines and then is ragged elsewhere around the perimeter of the strike through. We know these coins are struck through fragments of plastic because many coins have been found with the plastic still retained in the strike through. The plastic comes from a covering which is used to protect the dies, and is removed prior to the die's being put into service to strike coins. Sometimes not all the plastic is removed, resulting in a strike through.
