What would you call this particular coin(ish)

So what would this be called? A piece of a lamination? Part of a split planchet? Just a hunk of junk? Struck on a foreign object?

More directed towards error folks, is this considered an error? Is there even a premium on something like this or should it go into my education examples book I take to shows?

Thanks for the help

    The struck side looks like the surfaces are damaged,
    and so I don't think it would bring much in an Ebay auction.

    It's a good educational piece, to show what the inside of
    a detached lamination flap looks like.

    If you had the host coin, it would be a better 'set'.

    Neat find... I certainly would keep the piece as an 'educational' item - as you mentioned. Cheers, RickO

    Piece of a coin, origin unknown.
    Maybe could have been junior's experiment with placing the coin in a vice and swinging a hammer at the top half to see if he could break off a piece!
    But maybe that is wrong, as the coin would bend a lot before breaking, and the bend would show near the broken edge?

    Too bad it wasn't broke off from the bottom. At least you know it was a Silver quarter from 1932-1964. I'd try to remove that rust.
