Does any of this mean anything to anyone out there?

Picked this up along with some others at an estate sale but not sure what the labels are referring to. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you. I guess it's worth hanging onto then? I don't suppose pcgs would slab it and perhaps be able to further identify it? Not concerned about the value but my curiosity is driving me crazy!! Thank you again for taking the time to answer. Very much appreciated!

    From a Heritage auction of a Judd-408 piece:

    Unfortunately, this curious pattern presents more questions than we can answer. What we do know is there are similar pieces struck from native Michigan ore of silver-copper composition. Off-metal strikes were, as usual, struck for collectors in copper-nickel and nickel. The copper or bronze pieces that were previously listed under this Judd number were undoubtedly delisted by Pollock because of the impossibility of visually distinguishing copper from bronze
