Is this a die break?

Appears to be a lamination issue. Technically, not a die break. What doe the obverse look like?

Here's the other side. Also here's a comparison, the S is clearly missing from the left off of the lamination.

can you provide a full image of the obverse that shows the area of concern better?
So far, I'm just seeing this Break/Lam in small pieces.

Nice find for sure! Keeper!
I'm leaning towards a lamination issue, but interested to see what the more experienced expert consensus is on this.

Looks like a lamination issue, but it almost looks like a cracked planchet that goes through to the other side. I'm not sure if it lines up perfectly, but there's a defect at 1:00 on the obverse that might be connected.

Thank you for the full coin image.
And, yes, I'm for a very nice Lamination. The silver/copper and manganese composition sometimes did not mix well and creating these De-laminated War Nickels.

@pdzl Lamination issue, not worth cost of evaluation/slabbing.
