First of all, I would like to figure out what type of error this coin has. It's a large blemish running from just behind Washington's ear to the IGWT phrase on the obverse. It looks like a lamination peel but I'm wondering if it might be a strikethrough. Secondly, I'd like some help grading this coin.
Looks like a nice strike through. Laminations are usually found on coins with a single alloy, such as copper (bronze) cents and silver alloy coins with an improper mix of the metals in the alloy. I think the cupronickel layer of a clad coin could have a lamination, but it would be shallow and limited to the thickness of the clad layer. (Can anyone back me up on this? I could be totally wrong on this one.)
