Found in original roll 1990 P. Look it's really cool!!!

Well C.T. it's been a while but im back!! I found something that i really wanted to share with you all. So I found this in an original uncirculated roll. Looking for an explanation. The spot around 1 O'clock that looks dark is actually the brightest spot on the coin.
It has to be struck through but, what?
Thanks for looking and enjoy. Please comment. Thanks!!!

Interesting..
@Fred Weinberg

 

Agreed, it is interesting but I think it has been damaged.

 

Me, looking at obverse: "Obviously damaged, looks like the core was melted and refrozen."

Me, looking at reverse: "Um..."

 

Possibly some type of "event" happening and I notice a small clash in bay 4.

 

It almost looks like a thin layer of gold leaf, aluminum or something melted over the top.

 

I'm just throwing this against the wall,But to me it looks like a double error. 1st faulty planchet. 2nd Struck through some kind'of debris.

 

If the roll is truly unc. then it might not be damage and could be something cool.

 

Believe me when i say original. I opend it myself. I have no reason to lie about it.

 

Any sort of heat would cause the reverse to warp too (heat that would cause that kind of damage on the obverse). What a sweet find! It will be fun to hear the explanation !

 

Yeah, my first thought was damage. Then I saw the reverse and that it came from an UNC roll, so now I’m not sure.

 

If it was PDM I don't think the reverse could get by without any indications of damage. Nice.

 

Heres my stupid thought...could it have been as simple as a die being saturated with grease?

 

I'm not saying you lied about it. Rolls are advertised as UNC all the time.
IDK what you opened or what the other coins look like.
I am saying if it is a whole roll of UNC 1990 coins, then this could be something.

 

I might have thought so except for the problem at the head which looks like it was struck through with something heavier than grease or clogged debris.

 

I tagged @Fred Weinberg again. But it's Friday so he might be on his way to a coin show somewhere

 

I think Fred might have blocked me on one of my first post. He never replies to my threads. Mayby you could ask him. I really value his opinion

 

As stated, he's traveling, probably to a coin show. Response from him will be slow until his return.

 

Wow! That is a lot going on on one coin.
I like the doubling effect on the ONE CENT.
Is that raised coming off the top of the T?
I agree it looks like a bad planchet but with the line from his hair to rim it also seems like a broken yet retained die was striking it. Almost like that small section was lose and going to fall out but then pushes it deeper into the planchet? It does have very strong striation lines that's for sure. Certainly can't say what caused it all but it would find a home in my collection of errors if it was mine. Nice find!

 

The obverse was struck though a very late-stage die cap. The cap may have gotten torn at 1:00 or a piece of debris may have been struck in at this location. The reverse is normal except for some minor split plating doubling.
