Lamination error??? Or after mint damage???

Hi everyone, could you guys tell me whether this was after mint damage or maybe a lamination error or what you think. I hope the pictures are clear enough but if not let me know. Thank you so much for your help.

I do not see a lamination error. All I see is wear, which has damaged the surfaces, especially in the rim and fields areas. It is circulation wear. No, it is not an unusual mint error.

 

I agree, Agree with me or rather us.

 

If this is a picture of a folded back flake (hard to tell with a blurry pic)


Then it's almost a picture perfect match against the retained lamination described and pictured by error-ref:

My vote would be that it qualifies as one.

 

It is post mint damage from wear and contact.

 

Thanks everyone I appreciate you looking at it for me.

I say it's a Lamination issue. Common on many Wheat Cents and earlier Memorial's.

I also believe it's a lamination.

The areas below LIBERTY and above the R show what looks like lamination cracks. I can see where the marks on the head could be interpreted as PMD, but I still thinks it's part of a detached lamination
