Thanks for the 'match' !
It's not a lamination, imo. It's been damaged by a chemical or something that would cause the effect you see.
Probably an optical illusion - it's not metal flow or a struck thru.... Someone or something had contact with the cent on that area, and you're...
Look at the center bottom area of the MM. It's been hit, and I believe that's what caused the metal movement on the top left side of the D....
Yep - improper copper plating bubble(s). Still easily found, and 97% of them don't carry a premium, unless it covers a large area, or there are...
I can't enlarge the photo, but it appears to be a Lamination - due to improper metal mixture.
A photo of the obverse would be nice, but the odds are it's just a gold-plated novelty item.
I see a very fine 'stain' line - but based on the one photo, it doesn't look like a die crack. Can you shoot another photo or two of it?
What you see on the surfaces of both coins occurred after they were in circulation. They're not copper plating bubbles - but some chemical or...
I don't see it - where exactly should we be looking for the die crack? (I see a bag-mark to the right of his ear)

The cent on a Foreign planchet is probably on a Singapore or Malaysian 1 Sen Planchet
Yep
Not a doubled die
ejection/mechanical doubling. Not an error, very very common, and no premium, I'm sorry to say.
PMD - could be from a few causes......
I'd say die gouges - only because there are too many of them to call them simply 'die scratches'. It's also possible that the die was damaged...
It's a die crack....nice find.
Separate names with a comma.
