No Date Lincoln Memorial Cent Mint Error - Split Planchet Struck Through Planchet

Interesting obverse/reverse. The devices appear raised but they are mirrored on the opposite quadrants on side of the coin.
Note the 'T' on cent is on the opposite side and the 'O' on ONE is mirrored. Same for USA.

Super one Bats! Incredible!

Thanks! This one is especially nice in hand as the light, thin planchet is so odd and you sure don't need magnification to see the error.

Coop, completely lost on what you are trying to say/describe. Was my description not correct?

Tropicalbats' reconstruction of events is correct. This is a split planchet that was struck through an overlying planchet of presumably normal thickness. It appears to me that the striated surface faced toward the overlying planchet. You have a strong incuse ghost image of the Memorial design on the obverse face.

So, if I'm following along, there are two kinds of split before strike.

One where just the split fragment is in the coining chamber - the hallmark here would be some striations from the split and a weak strike (both sides) because it's thinner.

Second where the split fragment PLUS a normal blank is in the coining chamber - this would have fewer striations (if any) because the flat surface of the blank smooths things out. And the side that does have the coin impression will be sharp because it's effectively a thick planchet being struck.

where the struck surface separates and the interior surface shows an amalgam of obverse and reverse design elements. But at the instant of striking it was a "normal" planchet. So the design side is normal, not heavily struck?

Do I have that right?

If so, this is split after strike and there is a bit of the reverse rim showing from about 6 to 9 o'clock.

Great example TB. Have you had these for a long time and are just posting them, or did you come across the mother-lode of errors somewhere?

The coin was posted with the obverse side and reverse side correctly oriented "up" to avoid confusion.

Sheldius, I recently bought 3 different error lots, with most of the ones I've been posting from one of them. The other two lots are nice, but not like this bunch.
