Can anyone help me find out if this is an error and if so help identify it? It looks to me like a lamination of some sort but I'm not sure.

Reverse image would be helpful. Obverse looks like a retained lamination.

Almost looks like a punch, of sorts. Like the sound of a retained lamination, though.

Looks like a large, thick piece of struck-in metal (probably copper-nickel). A very rare and desirable error. Just to cover all bases, check to see if it's attracted to a magnet.

Being a key Founding Father, he is appalled at the current shredding of our Constitution.

I agree with the retained lamination idea by mds. Very cool error!

What is the weight of the coin? If metal was added to the normal planchet then it should wieght more that 5.0 grams.

The reverse is completely normal

It is not attracted to a magnet. I'll check the weight tomorrow at work.

Thanks for all the insight so far!

The surrounding fissure is characteristic of a struck-in metal fragment. It is NOT characteristic of any kind of lamination error.

Very interesting coin ...

I suggest to all that when Mike Diamond speaks we should listen.
