I don't know that I've seen one quite like this! Is it a die break, die crack or planchet flaw? It's not what I was expecting to see. Really interesting coin! Wow!  ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Almost looks like a split on the cladding?

Subduction zone--one portion of the coin's surface diving under another. I like it.

Thank you for the responses!
Coop, it seems deeper than just a cladding separation.
Another way I would describe this would be that of a "metal tsunami" rolling over the top of FDR's head.

Looks like it goes into the rim as well. My vote is for a planchet flaw.

It maybe an extra piece of cladding on that area that fell off from another coin? Just never seen that before. We see struck debris on cents all the time, but the is the first struck on cladding. The weight should be a bit heavier?  |

Is it a rim burr from your coin?  Added. The last closeup you took shows that it may have been shaved off the inside of the rim. -makecents-

I could be wrong but this still looks like a die crack. An atypical one for sure as pointed out, has some subsidence. If it truly is a die crack, it would be a bi-level crack: http://www.error-ref.com/bi-level_die_cracks_/Which is something I don't think I have ever found, so neat find! |
