Looks like part of the cladding came loose. I find the reverse letters on Roosevelt's name interesting. The letters are raised on the die, incuse on the coins. But they seem missing. Probably the die was polished and thinned/removed these from the die. Kind of like the missing VDB on the cents that were polished off. Not premium, just the reason they look like that.
Thanks coop, I thought it was an interesting one as well that's why I posted it. I've been looking at a lot of cents as well but not finding anything post worthy.
