Lamination error or PMD?

Thanks,

I would say yes to both. It does look like a lamination peel and it probably happened outside the mint. If it were not for the small tag of copper (by AMERICA) lifting up, I would have called it a struck through a foreign object.

Thanks BJ. So your saying that there was a lamination issue when struck, and it fell off or peeled off after it left the mint? Because there is some distorted design in the crater area, could both have occurred; ie struck thru a foreign object and a lamination peel?

It may have happened that way, but I think the lamination peel is the more logical answer. Though it is unusual to see this type of error in the 1960 decade, I just feel that the flap of copper that is slightly raised kind of forces the issue away from a struck through a foreign object.

If you look at both conditions, struck through and lamination peel, they are both produced the same way. The only difference is that the lamination peel pieceis the known struck through object.

That's a nice error find Rock! I agree with BJ's analysis that is likely a large lamination peel that detached later and also agree it sure does look like a struck through a foreign object.
