I'm not so sure.
2 very straight lines connected by 2 very straight diagonal lines of equal length. the angles are what appears to be exact. Either something was scribed into this coin or pressed onto it.
very strange to say the least.
But I would expect to see lamination as ragged and uneven

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.  ça va bien aller

If pushed outwards on the reverse, it was altered.

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.
