In my opinion, no. It is an original part of the coin that later released as a peel and was folded toward the rim. It was then folded back on itself at the rim.

Apparently, what I was trying to say/show did not translate. I don't know what else to do, but I do know that lamination flaws are not the easiest to grasp. I know some others who always want to call them retained die breaks. Without the coin in hand, I can't add anything.
Can you explain the jagged lines in the field that I pointed out in my first pic? They seem to match fairly well with a fold over, no? Of course, the original white arrow is blocking some of it on the lower side.

), but I have seen/owned many lams on coins of varying compositions. If this is a "struck through" error, then why is the extra material raised so much above the field? The press does a pretty good job of flattening anything it presses. I don't know how some copper flakes were spared.
