I was wondering what the rectangle bar on the top right Leaf is from and but it looks like the imprint of a leaf next to the right leave also?

Not exactly sure of your question, but this is a great lamination for sure!

I'm referring to the leaf imprint right above the word States. And the top right part of the wheat stalk on the reverse

Very nice, dramatic lamination issue. Excellent photos too.

Pareidolia may be in-play.

That is a very dramatic lam with bits of copper falling off. I'd save this one in a 2x2 for protection. I'm not seeing a strike through.

Lamination (well - technically delamination) error. Nice one too!

Big delamination and some parts detach before strike and some continue to detach. The big square you mention it is the part of this delamination. Try to keep safe from more deterioration of the ally. I see those marks of irreversible oxidation of the tin and zinc content.

Yeah I've had it in a two by two ever since the second I found it.

Very nice Lam (delam?) a bit of fold over on that retained bit over the word 'States'. Obverse looks like it could be a minor woodie.
