Do I have an error coin?

I am mainly a card guy and hang out on those pages. I do enjoy coin roll hunting a bit and most look for wheat cents for my growing hoard. Also I sell some pre 82 pennies to a guy at times as well and make a few bucks. I ran through a $50 bag of pennies today and found an odd coin and I am curious if it is an error. If you like I show the coin towards the end of the video. Thanks in advance for any help.

<< <i>Yes it looks like a lamination error, very cool. >>
Cool. Thanks for the reply. It is the first one of those I have found.
I know it's tempting but I would say don't try to move the loose piece.

Go to the local coin shop and buy a hundred 2x2 for $5 and staple that one into it
A lamination is when layers are bonded together. When the layers separate, it is a delamination.
But yes, it is an actual mint error coin.

If it wasn't bonded in layers to begin with but became layered from poor processing wouldn't it become laminated? Not trying to be facetious, I just remember when working with tungsten and if it got overworked without enough annealing it became what we called laminated.
