Found this one today in an uncirculated roll. Looks like the planchet was cracked or broken?

Very nice !
This looks to be a rolling mill error. A piece of foriegn material was rolled into the coin metal sheet and came out sometime before the coin was struck

Looks like a cracked planchet. The metal moved away from the coin after the strike?

The planchet was incomplete before the strike considering the corresponding weakness of strike on the reverse.
