That would be a delamination error and a nice one at that!
 

I am not too sure what a coin like that would be worth. I believe that you should get it graded or authenticated. It would make it worth more and more attractive if you try to sell it.
 

I would try to find out the value before deciding on slabbing. It will come back as scratched or improperly cleaned so that is something to think about in valuing it. It would be a shame to spend more on having it slabbed than it is worth.
 

From the depth of the "missing" metal and the definition of the lettering and stars I am thinking strike-through error.

There actually wouldn't be that detail on a strike through. When lams are lost off of coins you can still see the detail underneath due to the power of the strike.
