At first it went in the go back bag. Just thought it was the regular bust problem.

Look what it's done at top of E and between the E and rim.
It's smashed the bottom half of SOF.
No big deal but just curious how that would happen?

Planchet flaw. May have been a small gas bubble under that area that didn't strike up causing it to move downward with the die strike.

. How's the popcorn? Glad I always get extra extra butter.

Here's a couple more of the last picture.
Check out the area where the red and black arrows are pointing. It's like some kind of (pattern?) maybe. All those hash/dash marks through the word STATES and past are on the letters and field.
The rim looks affected also (green arrows).

Just thinking out lide and typing. If that "crease" were not there, I believe the answer being posted would be a typical plugged die or Grease Filled Die. I am just throwing an idea out that there was something else that caused a strike through in this area as well.

I do not know exactly what die polishers use to polish a die. So I do not believe the following idea is correct, but I add it simply for discussion sake and possible brainstorming.

If the die polishers use some sort of wire wheel apparatus in their work, my mind keeps seeing a wire from that apparatus falling onto the die and being stuck in the grease they left behind as well.

But again, this is just a hypothetical idea and I don't even know if it is plausible. I cannot imagine the wire from a wire brush apparatus to polish a coin die being so long. But whatever they do use, I am wondering if there is some way a remnant could be left behind or, fo that matter, maybe it is just a combo of some random wire/object being in just the right place at the right time with a plugged die to make this look?

I think we need Mike Diamond on this one?

lol. Sometimes the grinding marks left when they try to get rid of stuff. Sometimes it looks like they use 60 grit discs on them trying to get rid of clashes
But it just looks like it. Probably a little finer.

You would think it has to be somewhat strong to be able to cut that and smash the rest? Could it be something with an edge and with grease also?
E PLURIBUS wasn't touched. Just STATES OF and the letter A has a small cut.
Still can't figure out this one. Maybe it'll be something obvious.
