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.

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

This could be a good case for a Phrenologist.

A photo of the reverse will be helpful but right now I see PMD.

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.

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 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.
