    I think this would be referred as a "die cap"?

    "A die cap coin is a dramatic mint error that happens when a newly struck coin fails to eject from the pressing chamber and sticks to the upper hammer die."

    @FredWeinberg and @Byers are a couple of error SME

    @oih82w8 In this case, the OP brockage error was struck by a die cap, so the two are related.
