Bet it's underweight, a thinned planchet is what it's called. Not enough metal to force into the dies cavities to make the impression. See the weakness on the front too? Neat error! Now, if the weight is near 2.4g, then it could also be a weak pressure strike, but a mint error nonetheless! Wait, wait! my mistake, it also could be a broken die. Lots of things. GET THE WEIGHT!

Broken die face. That is a definite keeper Since the weight is correct, there was a gap on the die where the metal just "oozed" into and the resultant impression is that remaining broken surface. Imagine the impression if a quarter fell off about 1/8" deep.  |

Yep, the weakness seen on IGWT is the mimic point of Blakesley effect. This is a "new Cud" so to speak, it hasn't been pounded smooth yet. It does make sense when you look at the right Memorial corner, a prime spot for a crack. Take a look on what's left to see any spider cracks, if not, this would most likely be called a die failure, massive right away, not bit by bit. This was a bad alloy problem of the die I suspect. That broken piece being ejected with previous coins. Edited by Crazyb0

IWow! Very interesting! You should be featured in a Coin World article for finding this. I'll PM Mike Diamond to see what he thinks.  Errers and Varietys.

Newbie38, I did send an email to Mike Diamond about this coin you have and sent him the link to your thread. We'll see what he has to say about it.
Errers and Varietys.

This is new to me! I don't see how it is PMD since the affected area seems to be raised on the coin and there is no break of the copper plating. Being raised means there must have been an absence in the die. I really don't see any abnormal weakness on the obverse strike. Maybe it is as Crazyb0 suggested, struck with a newly broken die due to an alloy issue.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
