Could this be considered a "split planchet"?

Don't remember where I got this from. Any opinions?

    Look at the discoloration along the "break." Looks like heat damage. Are you sure it wasn't hit with a cutting torch?

    For a picture of a nice split planchet, look at the 1916 nickel I have on www.harlanjberk.com
