Hopefully, others will chime in and maybe even Mike D. will pop in for a look-see because I'm really curious now.

ANACS is almost certainly wrong. This is probably not a split-after-strike planchet. This instead is started out as a thin planchet (probably split, but possibly rolled-thin) that was fed into the striking chamber beneath a normal planchet. The two were struck together twice, with the upper coin rotating slightly between strikes. That's why you've got two incuse ghost images of the Memorial. So this is a double-struck in-collar uniface strike.

Wow, that's an even better error than attributed. Well, nice double struck in collar uniface strike!

So help me understand if you can (I'm a little slow). Two blanks went into the chamber the thin one shown was on the bottom. the bottom die was the memorial image. This got struck twice in the chamber and the top blank moved between strikes. If this is correct then why would there be no trace of the double strike on the memorial side of the thin coin? An the top coin would show a double very faint strike of the memorial side? And I would assume the top coin, a very strong obverse side since struck twice? Thanks! Trying to learn!!

To answer 3193zd, the bottom coin did not move between strikes. That's why there's no trace of a double strike. The bottom face of the top coin would develop a raised ghost image of the Memorial on the first strike. This would be impressed into the upper surface of the bottom coin on the second strike while a separate ghost image would form during the second strike (incuse on the bottom coin and raised on the top coin).

More coolness!
So the incuse bottom corners of the memorial building are from the second strike.

Hi Mike Diamond. Thanks I understand now. First strike impressed both coins, next strike top coin moved before the strike and on the second strike it impressed the bottom coin in a different alignment. So back side of the bottom coin has an impression for the first die strike going through the coin and then an impression coming from the top coin acting like a die.

Lots to process here, and thanks all for the input!
I am away from home until Sunday night, and busy with stuff related to my move to my new home, but will comment and get back to this as soon as possible once I return home.
Yes, home is now two places, and will be for maybe a month or more as it goes.
New place is State College, PA, home of Penn State University. Will be there for good after what is a protracted move.i

It seems like the split planchet was fed in with a coin that had already been struck, then double struck with that coin which rotated between strikes, otherwise there would be squat on the obverse.
