Dual Wheat Penny MINT ERROR?!

Found this cool 1955-D Split Planchet Wheat Penny in a bank roll, but after close inspection I see lots of random letters/numbers struck everywhere even on the rim......pictures do almost no justice. I even circled a spot on the reverse where I can see another 1955-D struck......I can see "In God We Trust" faintly on the bottom of the reverse...just to name a few...
So I'm trying to figure out if there is a 2nd Mint Error and if so then what is it.......double or triple struck? rotated in collar? obverse struck through?, who knows.....

Great imagination. I see nothing but damage to the coin...even if an error, in that condition it'd be worth very little.
The obverse looks like it was slid across an abrasive surface...ie. parking lot.
Think damage first...then if you can't see how it could be damage, then try to evaluate how the error would have occurred.
Maybe I am lol, but this is a split planchet before strike.
Well, more power to you then. Check out the images from a Bing search:

Recognizing that not all images shown there would necessarily be from a true error, but could be from people such as yourself inquiring if that is what they have. There is, in my opinion, zero chance that your coin is anything other than damaged. Others may disagree.
Based on the photos, that is not struck
on a split before striking planchet.
It's damaged, and what you see on the
reverse side, circled and not circled,
is numismatic pareidolia.
Thank you.
I agree with the above... a damaged cent and numismatic pareidolia. Cheers, RickO
How about this one now, boys.....?

You have to be kidding, right? Both of those coins are obviously scratched.

Ditto - PMD.
Why is the reverse not struck at all?!
It's been ground off. Look at what IS present...such as the marks that are on the coin, they tell the story.
Good advice. Thank you.
PMD on both coins
1997-Present
link or not to link is the question, no buyers, little traffic, excuses from people for not clicking and the amount of hate this forum has for me are the issues
Oh boy....
It's amazing we're not all filthy rich. Major errors just dropping out of pocket change like manna from heaven.
I would hope if I discovered 6 rarities per day, I'd realize they can't actually be rarities.
