This is not damage from the die, it is actual damage to the planchet of the coin itself. Laminations are fairly common, but that's a fairly nice sized one. You aren't rich yet, keep looking, but those are worth a little bit as a genuine error. Report this Post to the Staff

Most times a lamination peel happens after the strike and the devices appear weak. A definite keeper. It would be nice to see what Mike Diamond says about this one? Report this Post to the Staff

It's definitely not a lamination error. Another possibility is that the affected area was etched by acid after the coin entered circulation. Error coin writer and researcher.
