Your pictures are not showing up. I'd guess it is probably a lamination error or post mint damage based on your title.

What does the reverse look like?

If it is raised on the reverse side the coin may have been damaged:

If the reverse looks normal, then you should see some ghost images on the area in question, then it maybe a lamination.
(Just can't tell from the images provided)

Not likely a lamination, edges too smooth and even. I'd say either damage or a strike through.

Sorry, it's not a Lamination error. It's PMD.

Looks like someone used a punch on it. (probably trying to make it look like an error coin) When this happens the reverse is flattened in that area. So what do you do with a damaged coin? You spend it. Now you've got it.

The reverse is actually smooth. Yes it does look like a bulge but just lighter in color there. I'm sure its still p
PMD still
