Lamination?
Errers and Varietys.

Thank you E&V! I know you said lamination, then do you think is a real error? Also can you please check the image of Trust with the arrows and let me know is there are notching there? Thank you!! Thank you Coinfrog!!  Edited: E&V I think you are right with this to lamination. See the obverse behind the ear.

While laminations can occur in clad coins, according to the error-ref site, they do not result in the core being exposed. I see copper on yours and therefore would more likely describe this as a "partial clad" error. Anyone else like to weigh in on this theory? For reference: https://www.error-ref.com/?s=laminationI'd save this one in a 2x2 at least for now.

I do see the notching that you pointed out. Probably a minor DDO.
Errers and Varietys.

Agree with Spence. Keep it as a fun curiosity.

Thank you for your input Spence, I was thinking the same thing, and yes it is in a 2x2 since last night  Thank you E&V for confirming that for me!  Thank you ijn1944!! Yes, definitely I will  Coinfrog  Thank you Marve65!! After Spence said partial clad errror, I went ro search on https://www.error-ref.com trying to find something that match this, but the closest I found to this error was this: Part V. Planchet Errors: Plating Errors: Cracked and Peeling Plating I read it and I know it said that that happens among Copper-platet zinc cents, but could this happen on clad too? Here is the link: https://www.error-ref.com/cracked-a...g%20plating/

I'm not super familiar with clad coins but looks like an intrinsic metallic inclusion to me. It is a pretty neat error coin either way.

Thank you tropicalbats! I was thinking on that too but my coin show peeling and cracked issue, and with the intrinsic metallic inclusion that doesn't happen ( I believe  ) https://www.error-ref.com/alloy-err...-inclusions/Edited: "It is a pretty neat error coin either way" Yes it is, and I like

I wonder if an intrinsic metallic inclusion can partially separate from the surface of a coin.

The two presented examples of intrinsic metal inclusions were both essentially solid, single-alloy coins. One was a copper cent. The other, 99.9% zinc (with inclusion) that was plated. I see no reason why the cupronickel surface layer of a clad coin could not have a lamination or metal mixing problem. The super thin cladding would probably make laminations much more likely to flake off than a lamination bound into a single solid coin.

Thank you Petespockets55 and Brandmeister for came in and give your input!!  do you guys see the obverse of the coin? Please check around the ear, I think that's probably lamination issue, I'm leaving a close-up of that part here:
