Title: Faulty planchet or PMD?

I think this is a delamination but would like opinions from others.
Where the metal is missing has a grainy appearance.

Is there weakness on the obverse at that spot? Looks like a peel not PMD.

Me thinks its been chewed out by rough handling.......as if it has been scraped with a screw driver or something.

I can't see anything opposite on obverse -looks quite normal.
And no tool/scrape marks that I can see.
