Looks like a split planchet error to me

If it were a split planchet error, the weight would be less than normal. The reverse would also be weaker because of the lack of metal.

@coop the reverse would only have weakness if it were a pre-strike split planchet..this looks like a post-strike split.
For this coin to be strruck through a cap the edge on the affected side would be dish like and sloping upwards but this coin has it in the opposite direction almost.

Coop, the slabbed coin is not the coin that the OP bought, it's one that he's comparing it to.

goid call dollar man I think you're right. I knew it wasn't a normal struck through a capped die. I will post the weight and better close ups when I get it in hand

It's either a split-after-strike cent or a normal-weight cent that was struck through a split planchet. We'll know more when we get a weight. It's definitely not a brockage. What you're seeing is an incuse ghost image of the Memorial that bled through from the reverse die.

Just got it. It's a split planchet, it weighs 1.7 grams. It does have a very thin rim on the would be obverse, is that normal?   |

Awesome purchase and congratulations! The very thin rim is normal. It is probably caused by the error itself.

I now suspect that this is a split planchet that was struck beneath a normal-weight planchet. The slightly finned rim and exceptionally strong strike are consistent with this interpretation.

Mike diamond got what I was going to suggest, it's a struck through split planchet, but this was the split planchet. A split plamchet and a regular planchet were both in the coining chamber at the same time and this was the split planchet piece. The other part would be a uniface cent witha very sharply struck obv and the reverse would show the texture of the split planchet but be normal weight. (It may also show some very light traces of the reverse.) That sound right Mike?
