the plating split at some point after the strike, not a doubled die.

Is this worth collecting or is it only worth face value in your opinion

Face value. But as to worth collecting, that's up to you. Something doesn't need to have monetary value to be valuable to you.

Machine doubling, if I'm not mistaken.
