Lamination usually isn't found on clad coins. This looks more like damage to the coin than an error, as noted, it has the look of acid damage. I'm leaning more towards an area of acid that was standing on surface of the area in question. If some of the letters seem normal, it may be that the corrosive agent was simply too shallow to cover them. It does looks like many of the letters of IN GOD WE TRUST do have the same distortion as the field in these photos.
