I'd say lamination
Steve
Although some will say it's a lamination,
I don't believe so......I've seen this type
of shape and pattern before, and it's
always been some type of damage.
In most cases, it's a chemical/acid of some
type....maybe to remove solder, or ???
In any case, from what I see, I don't think
it's a lamination type of error.
Worn in the breast pocket of a Union soldier at Cold Harbor. That's the unmistakable imprint of a minie ball.

It must have been infested with the infamous coin worm.
Counter-stamp attempt that went bad so the owner decided to scratch it off? Just a wild guess.

put me in the basket of laminationalists.
I would identify that as PMD.... microscopic examination may reveal further details, but unlikely. Cheers, RickO

I agree with FredWeinberg as to Post Mint Damage.
If you look into void you can see it was tooled (dug) sideways continually the whole length.
If this was a delamination the natural striations would run the whole length tip to tip without any interruptions.
