That is a weak strike caused by the lack of metal to fill the cavity. It is not uncommon on Memorial cents and can happen with any year. In the future, please crop your photos, this will help en large them.

Can't tell for sure. Is there a way you can get a more close-up image of the coin or that area of it?

It is a minor grease in a very popular area. 1/5 of them will have this. Worth melt.

It could be two things. Either a Struck Through Grease issue or a sight lack of metal on the planchet. But it is common to see this on Memorial cents. Because the thickness needed to form the bust, the that area might suffer.

That area is a known spot where grease buildup shows. No premium I'm afraid. Worth one U.S. cent.   to the CCF!
