Hi my dad has this coin that has a odd mark on the back on the bottom of the right wheat leaf. Is this stamp error or just dammage?

It's a legitimate mint error. Some type of lamination or struck through error. Other will chime in.

@justin321, first welcome to CCF. Second, a better pic would help (starting with removing the coin from the 2x2 to reduce glare), but this coin may have a detached lamination. Also, it looks like the staple(s) on this 2x2 are not flattened. You should always take this step because otherwise the protruding metal parts can scratch adjacent coins.

 Does appear to be some type of mint error. Not a usual one either. |

I'm pretty sure it's a peeled Lamination error.

While it does look like a lamination error, the question that comes to me is this: Why is there a mark across that area? It is not in the same direction as the lamination. What is the weight? If the coin was altered, the weight would be normal and the obverse side would be affected. If it is not affected opposite that area, then it is a lamination issue. |

Very nice lam. The smaller area that is further south looks to be a deeper layer of lamination which would help give the allusion of a ridge separating the two areas.
