After viewing multipul examples of lamination errors I believe this 1945 Jefferson nickel displays just that. However, my inexperience gives me doubt. Could use some help.   |

I'm not sure, the way the RT of Liberty sit in there, I'd think theyd have been scooped out along with whatever took that chunk out if it were PMD. |

I agree, I'm leaning towards delamination, they were incredibly common among War Nickels and they usually look similar to this. Edited by Adam_E

No lam, sorry. Just PMD. It did not leave the mint looking like this. |

Going to go with a lamination error here.
The fact that some of the devices are still visible (RT and the back of Jeff's collar) plus the presence of most of the rim where the lam ends suggests to me this is not a gouge in the coin.
Also, the striations inside the area of the missing metal looks way to irregular to have been done by a gouge or scrape.

I think I also see a small (thin) lam. error starting in the hair and leading towards the B in Liberty. Only having the coin in hand to decide between PMD or lam for sure...nice steps on the reverse though |

Most definitely a deep lamination. If it were PSD then as deep as it is the letters R and T would have been obliterated. |
