It looks like someone picked at the lamination exposing lighter copper a while ago. I don't know. It is a nice lam I guess. Just something is off to me.
There's enough peeling metal around 2:30 to think it's a lam. I agree that the wide, rounded strip is part of the peel that was picked at and essentially rolled up. Nice buy for a nickel.
