Any Ideas on the 3 Cent Piece???

I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on what happened to this 3 Cent piece. The coin is unique on the obverse as the photos show with a possible lamination peel at 10 O'clock and asomething below the 6??

I don't think it's a lamination. I think a strikethrough is more likely.

 

I would think a lamination error is much more likely. These are much more common than strike-throughs and 3 cent pieces composed of Cu-Ni are rather prone to such defects. The blob beneath the 6 is probably a die chip.
