    Looks like a planchet defect rather than a die crack to me. Possibly a partial lamination.

    I was thinking die crack but maybe a bad planchet or lamination like you say.

    It appears to be solid, raised and not peeling away.

    I based my observation on your photos. The lighting made it appear like a lamination. Can you take additional photos with the light source moved around from 2:00 to 8:00?

    It's weird because it looks different depending on light. Might be like Hobo says. These new photos any help?
