This is just kinda strange. When you zoom in, it has the flakiness of a lamination but overall the coin just looks like it's been dipped in acid. What do you guys think?   |

They look like laminations to me.  |

If that's the case then the entire obverse is covered in them.
Interesting...

It seems like lams are generally more concentrated into one or more strips across the coin rather than overall. Maybe something else?

I've seen lamination issues across an entire coin's surface--not common, but a few examples exist.
Would like to see a full reverse photo.

I have one like this as well. I just found last night. Mine is a bit different but I think it has the same issue as yours. Mine is a 1937P. Nice find!

Thank you, both of you!
I'm wondering though, on the face on Lincoln, are the dips and holes part of the lamination (delam), or is it simply damage?

That is possible, but with its wear, could also be damage, so I wouldn't bet on it. On better condition coins, the Delamiated parts can fall off of the coin, but it looks similar to wear and tear.
