Can’t be a lamination, it is a plated coin. Also is not an error.
From the photo, it looks like it could be a stain or some form of damage.
There are also plating bubbles on the reverse.
If you enlarge the last two pics, you'll see it's not a stain, in fact you can see the die crack that goes into the break. It also appears to have a broad strike looking at the first pic.
Manifest only the best
So it can't be a lamination if it's a plated coin? Please help me understand what they call it if it is a plated coin?
The reverse can't be enlarged but I will put another one up.
Thank you everyone, I appreciate you
Stain, or liquid something
It did not leave the Mint like that
Not an error

Chris, yeah I remember the days(before a year and a half ago)
When my inbox was filled with these every day.
As I’ve said many times just because a coin “looks” different
does not mean it’s a possible error-In fact, the odds are if it looks different,
and you found it in circulation, it’s Probably some type of damage, staining, etc.

It looks like die deterioration to me, it would help if your full rev shot was in focus.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
The coin just looks stained to me.
It's junk. Why would you think otherwise?
