This is a broadstruck cent with a small partial brockage. I see no convincing evidence of more than one strike.

I see no feeder damage on the dies that struck your 1998 cent.

My apologies Mike, I wasn't being very descriptive and probably not using the correct terminology. Here's a closeup of the area I had in question. There are three, what I would call "drag" marks at the edge of the brockage. To me it looks like the pressure pushed up the adjacent metal causing a rippling effect in the plating. Like I said I was able to find one other example that had these same "drag" marks. The other was more dramatic than this.  Edited by Willburton

These "drag marks" are smeared letter traces.

I thought one looked like an E. Again thanks for your time!

On the reverse.
Is it somewhat like a Stutter Strike type lll or type ll?
I'm pretty sure I'm way off base but I gotta ask.
Could the damage on obverse cause the planchet to be bent?
Then the second strike happened as in type lll?
