My personal opinion is this coin had a delamination before it was struck, and the strike "smoothed" out the grainy surfaces delaminations are known for, then circulation did the rest.

Is it possible that in the rolling out of the sheet planchet that something fell into the path of the rollers and made this impression prior to having the coin planchets punched from the sheet? The next supposition would be that the something fell off prior to getting between the dies. I know a little about steel rolling mills, thought that maybe the planchet sheets were rolled in a similar process.

Kicking myself for not thinking of this also!
