    I'm not an expert, but it looks like a lamination to me.

    Delamination would be my guess.

    I am agreeing with the posters above me ... this looks like a delamination, and is really a very interesting example of that phenomena. Thanks for sharing!

    Agree on above, but obverse photo would confirm.

    Yep... Looks like a delamination... Old, and has endured some handling wear. Cheers, RickO
