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

Nice find; that is a brockage error.

@oih82w8 In this case, the OP brockage error was struck by a die cap, so the two are related.
A very late stage Brockage strike. Nice find.

I get one right every once in a while. This was not one of those times.
