Delamination?

Saw this on e-bay listed as a damaged coin...is it a delamination instead?

Looks like it to me.

 

Reverse photo?
Thinking strike thru.

 

Not sure a lamination would still be attached.
Does there seem to be a void in the area or is there attached metal?

 

Detached lamination

 

Lamination.

 

Interesting texture, but I would agree it seems to be a lamination based on the long peel shape.

 

Nice error and scarce coin, maybe cleaned though. Much darker around Queen Victoria/portrait/denticles.

 

Sold for $20.48 +4.19 shipping.

Not bad for a mintage of 210,000. You don't see these too often.

 

I almost bought it, but reconsidered...
