Is this a strike through or a lamination?. The mark I am speaking about in the photos taken you see the mark go through the t and then comes out the back of the t. Would love to hear more about what this is thanks.

Agreed with Sal, I see that is a ding, not a Lamination error . . . Lamination errors looks like that the metal is peeling off!

This was caused by blunt force contact with a reeded edged coin.
