The edges of those areas seem discolored, makes me think of some kind of chemical, like etching,...? But I know that ain't it, looks like something on top of E PLURIBUS UN?X Edited by Crazyb0

I'm thinking it is a Struck through something or another?

I'm pretty confused about this one. I thought maybe residue but, that doesn't explain the lines over the devices. I thought lamination but, the shapes don't seem to point to that and the lines are underneath what would have been a peel. The lines corresponding in direction on both sides may not mean anything unless it has to do with the metal itself (lamination). I think it may be an unusual lamination error or possibly struck-through cloth(?) fragments. Overall, this is a big for me. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Interesting... It reminds me of the lite Struck Through Grease quarters and dollar coins I have seen in circulation lately. Something seems off.  I'd put my money on acid or chemical damage. |

It has me scratching my head as well. The edges of the affected areas look like chemical damage but in the actual areas I see the lines all running the same direction and not melted looking as if it were chemical damage but looking like lamination and it doesn't have the smooth appearance of a struck through error. The lines are what has me baffled. I just keep going in circles.

Note the ghost images where the metal is missing? That is from the lamination peeling off the top layer of the coin. The coin should be a bit under weight. If it were a struck though issue, the ghost images would have been flattened.

It does look slightly like a lamination peel..I did have a nickel that looked very similar to this except it had a fairly large blob in it..leading me to believe it was a chemical coin enhance job..unfortunately I can not find that nickel at the moment..but I did find another with a lamination peel.. it does have lines in it but not as small and uniform as yours..have a look  |

Nice lamination rmsexauer. The lines in my coin look like roller lines.

Possibly the roller lines are what was holding it together until after the strike. I feel the setup process loosens the surface when the edge is rolled upwards. After the placnhet is struck, then the coin will retain/loose the loosened lamination.
