Can't be sure with these pictures. It is possible that a shallow angle type of cut may? have produced what we see here, or, as you suggest, a lamination. You really need a low power electron microscope examination of the questioned areas, to give a more definitive answer.

A closer-in photo taken at a slight angle would help our assessment. Tentatively, I'm thinking lamination, but can't be sure.

Not so sure about a lamination, but could be. I'm thinking just post mint damage.

If pushed outwards on the reverse, it was altered.

Newdude, most people here just use their cell phone's built in camera. Your pictures are fine, just work on lighting and focus and other camera skills.

Agreed. Pretty obvious multiple lamination errors on the obverse.
Nice find.

I agree, lamination. The reverse near the 'C' on cent towards the 'E' on EPU is part of a die clash on that area. So it is not damage to the coin. (thanks for the extra images)

I'm ok calling the anomaly over the bust a lamination, but the one on the right field - not so sure - too straight with identical angles.

Dearborn, there are a lot of lams that are perfectly straight.

When you have a flat tire, you don't call it a partial flat tire because only on the bottom it is flat. No it is a flat tire because it is no longer off the ground off the bottom. If it was above the ground, we will call it a low tire. But making needless terms just confuse the mater. It just a planchet lamination issue. Or a Lam. That will fit better on the 2X2 easier. That term is a recognized term.
