The reverse dig on this coin is so clean that I'm wondering if it could be a mint defect vs. PMD. The leg in the affected area doesn't look damaged - just recessed. I know my photos not very good, but I hope to get some feedback.   |

Might be a lamination issue.

With this amount of circulation wear, I don't think that we will ever know for sure, but the frog's supposition is as good as any.

Could it be a struck through debris? John1  |

Perhaps @john, but then if this surface feature was around since the day the coin was struck, I'd expect that the corners would be worn down. It looks like the piece of missing metal was lost much more recently than 1919 to me.

I thought a hard object strike through would not leave any die features. This looks more like the devices existed, and something struck it, driving the details into the hole. Can a soft object strike through error show details from the die?

Another great point @brand. Typically when we see strike-throughs, there are no remnant details but the opposite is true with delaminations.

I think it is a lamination that finally fell off, leaving the void

I'm with the "lamination peel" also.

Could be a Lamination or a Struck Through error.
Errers and Varietys.
