I know this is not much help, but that's really odd. I've never seen that before. Looking forward to the answers myself.

Well, look at me gonna know something JKK doesn't?! (And I'll probably be wrong)   The way a Strike Thru was explained to me is that it's like when a piece of debris, be it dirt or a piece of straw or anything not supposed to be there somehow makes it's way into the coin and winds up looking like a fossil. So I say it's a Strike Thru.

The weird thing is the seemingly perfect alignment of the flaw's arc with that of the coin's edge. Not an offset mirror of it, either, but the beginning of a perfect concentric ring. No random piece of anything, without mechanical assistance, could line up so perfectly; astronomical odds.

Wow....that IS weird.  I really have no idea what could cause something like that to happen in that way.....it's like a cud, but under the lettering.  Definitely strange.  I'll be interested to see what the community has to say on this one!

Yes, that is odd. Let's see what Tom has to say.

Yes, indeed.....overall bad composition.  I wrote the post immediately after working on a paper for my current class and my brain was fried......what I originally wrote was terrible!  So, I fixed it up.  :)

This was posted elsewhere and as I said there it looks like the rev has some "stuff" all over it.  Try an acetone soak and see if the anomaly doesn't go away.
