to the CCF! Based on your photos (the middle one) I'd say that is definite post mint damage. And it could well be intentional damage. Something to the effect of a couple kids trying to see if the can split the two-pence into two pence. Get my meaning?
I would put something like that into my bottle labeled "Interesting".
Anybody have an hypothesis where this coin could leave the mint in such shape after being damaged during a strike?
