1859 1 Cent Or, Is It Possibly A 2 Cent Coin? Or Is It A Complete Fake?

Here is a challenge for you experts to analyze this 1859 cent.or is it 2 coins? or is it an experimental fake?
Or what is it, and how did this come to be?
I know some of you will probably use a common response: PMD. And without providing a supporting and understandable explanation in a discussion about why YOU know, not think, that it is PMD.
And then you drop it, walk away, not to touch the subject again, assuming everyone knows it now. However, that does not give us, who are "not so in the know people", an opportunity to learn from your large knowledge base and experience.
You might be right in some cases. But NOT every time.
This coin is most likely PMD. However, is it possible that it came out of the Mint this way? Perhaps as an experiment by employees?
I have turned and twisted this 59 upside down and backward, tried to break it apart, and stopped close from sawing it in half to see what it looks like inside. (which I might still do)
if it is PMD, it is most certainly not the average PMD product.
There are marks on it which look like clip marks? just wondering
Also wondering: IF it is 2 coins, can it be called a 2-cent coin?
Thanks for all your input and for helping to solve this mystery.
Have fun with it...
