Might be a struck through debris. Let's wait for the pros. John1  |

Not a pro, but my first though is a delamination that has been "enhanced" by someone scraping an object up and down the trough. I'm interested to see what others think.

Well, date-wise I'm leaning toward 1946. Has lamination issue characteristics in the vicinity of US is TRUST. An accurate weight might tell us more.

 a closer look at the 4 and the S may show more.like why they are looking PMD, and why is the rim by the R and bottom of coat dented in ,like it was held by something . most lam.'s I've seen the letters don't roll up in a ball. plus you can see a grove/scratch coming up into the 4 at a different angle .A zoomed in photo will tell. I'm far from a pro,just adding my input. Now that don't mean it's not,or struck through debris. thank you and happy hunting  |

Looks like a struck through to me.
If it was damage, the rims would be affected
and I see no sign of displaced metal.
Also it looks like a 1946.

 The rim damage seems visible from the top view only, the edges aren't distorted. I'll get a scale later today. Thanks! |

My guess would be a lam, but it could also be struck through a detached lam from another coin. Weight will help.

Weight would be a start. (Nice to see others are picking up on this now) If the weight close to normal, I'm thinking damage. But if the weight is reduced, then it could be lamination. It makes me wonder if it is something wooden, like part of a toothpick. You might measure that with your coin?

  How's your weekend coop? I got the most accurate scales I could find, it weighed a nickle at 5 grams. I'm not sure what size toothpicks were in '46? especially a used one, but it's mighty close! Let me know if theres anything else I can do. |

It looks like a straight up classic lamination strip peel to me, where some sort of foreign material got onto the strip of metal being rolled out and caused missing metal...

Back then there were also flat toothpicks. About the same length, but a lot thinner. It's been years since I've seen one of these though. The round ones were more popular ones.
