But it can't be a lamination. It is above the coin on the top of the device. It must something like metal added to the coin. A lamination would be attached to the coin and be the same shape as top of the device.

You can give it an acetone rinse. If it is glue (or glued), that may release it.

Looks to me like the N took a hit, the toning doesn't match the rest of the coin. Displaced metal PMD.

Ok , sorry guys , was at work , after a overnight acetone bath the "thing " is there still, very strange , I'm able to lift the metal and the N is there intact
Then I try and remove it and it's impossible by hand , maybe if I cut it off but I don't want to damage the coin...
So I think the possibility of being a hit does not apply ...
Also ...why someone would add this piece of metal , I don't know , I tried and take picture from different angles to try and help the members guess what is that lol
Ps .: the second picture shows the N under the metal
Thank you very much !

I would say lamination, but where the part of N would be, nothing is there. Could it be that there was a lamination that peeled off the part of N and then the lamination you see now, like a double lamination? Not sure about this one. Let's see what Coop says.

Looks like a struck through debris to me. A piece of thin metal was struck onto the coin in that location. Looks like the rest is still attached to the field. Strange one.

The more you take, the better you get. But I think we are OK with this one.

I love the Woodies, but I thought that Laminations were always at some point on the coin attached to the rim.
