1962 cent having a bad day . What is the issue with it doctor.

I dont know what to call this

a.) Lamination issue on a grand scale
b.) The planchet had a bad day at the office.
c.) Someone got board and used a jack hammer to separate the levels of copper.


I think A and B might be the best chance . C is a long shot.

The metal looks folded over with a little tiny gap between the fold over piece and the main metal. But what is it , what caused it whats it worth and what do I do with it ?

    Lamination error with the fold over occuring after the coin was in circulation for awhile.
