Looks like a lamination.

https://www.error-ref.com/lamination-loss-after-strike/ Looks more like damage to me and that (s) is just your imagination,still a decent wheatie.

 

Looks like this kind of lam to me but obviously less pronounced.

 

Ok,im not going to argue with a frog.

 

I don't know its still a wheat I guess

 

Hm. With better pictures it looks more like damage.

 

My camera sucks sorry

 

I'm also leaning towards damage. I don't believe that occurred at the mint.

 

You’ve taken what appears to be a lamination and applied an imagination far better than mine.

 

Jury still out?

 

I don't go for coins that have odd things on them. I'm sure there are collectors that like coins with damage and we all have our own standards for which we want for our collection. I wish the best to all and wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy new year. Please don't drink and drive. We want to hear from all of you in January how your holiday was enjoyed.

 

I see it. That's a big one. That's the biggest one I think I ever seen there. I don't think it's worth nothing, though.

 

A lamination is when the planchet is defective and often a sliver of the surface will lift away. They are very common on war nickels.

 

War nickels are 35% sliver.
