Not sure what this extra piece of metal is at 2 o'clock.   |

What does the obverse look like in that area?

I don't think it can be a Cud without a corresponding lack of features on the obverse? |

First thought is a retained strike through .

First thought is a retained strike through. That seems reasonable. The gap between it and the rim makes me think its not a Cud.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

What does the edge look like there? Seems like the rim is subtly thinner at V DEI.

Could be a Retained Struck Through or a Lamination.

There appears to be a groove at the rim over D to A. The extra metal could be a folded-over lamination error, or a piece gouged out by something while in circulation. Have a good look there; if it doesn't have a scrape mark, then it's probably a lamination.

Looks like a copper foil issue to me. John1  |

It also looks to me like a sliver got scrapped of between the D & A and deposited there after the strike

Not a Cud. I think okie is close.......a copper shard of some sort which was struck in place.....maybe off rim as okie said. |

Probably either a retained lamination or a little Rim Fin that has folded over.

Thanks for looking all, the piece in question doesn't look to be scrapped off of the reverse, I still believe it is off another coin. I've avoided playing with it in case it falls off. One more pic in different light.  |
