Received today this 1915 5 Cent coin. The reverse shows no error but
the obverse shows an arc shaped area of thinned metal. Is it a
delamination, indent strike, the description was planchet flaw. I
hadn't realized that this was a rarer date coin. Any and all
comments welcome.

Looks like a planchet flaw to me.
Either that or environmental damage.

Doesn't look like an indent strike, as the 'indented' area isn't uniform...

Interesting that it's contained inside the rim & almost perfect arch.

A nice 'tone swim would reveal more of the lettering, hopefully.
