needing to think on this one, that would be one huge chuck of debris to be still attached...Is that one of the cents from the storeage unit? If it is...I think you got yourself a winner.....

@Greasy Fingers....yes, this one came out of the storage unit 2nd box! My 13 year old son pulled this one out of one of the envelopes and Came screaming.....dad, dad.....I found something!! I couldn't believe it was a huge chunk of copper (debris) stuck like that! So you think I should get that evaluated by a coin dealer or send in? Sarge

Let's give it a little time and see what others say, if nobody jumps back in, you could start a new thread (posting) titled something like "Do you think this is worth a TPG look"

The idea of a retained lamination has appeal.

I would call that a fold over struck through debris. It used to be on the back of the head.
