Am I correct on the type of error this is?

I recently purchased an error collection and I got this coin. I'm trying to figure out if this is the correct name or collect type of error. It is very thin and has no reeding on the rim

I'm calling this a 60% off center strike on clad layer? Is this the right name?

    Is your coin copper on one or both sides? It is off center looks about in the 60 percent area.

    I think there's more to it than just an off-center strike since the reverse wasn't struck.

    Struck 60% off center and split after (during) strike leaving a detached struck clad layer.

    That's definitely a strange one - almost looks like the layers separated after the strike and you have just the obverse struck CN layer.

    Very cool coin! The one side almost appears to be some sort of brockage? B)

    I plan on sending it in to get into a holder with a few other error coins

    It is definitely just a clad layer, the only question in my mind is whether it separated after strike or it was already separated and created a brockage into another planchet. The ghost image on the reverse makes me think it was not a brockage but separated after the strike. Very cool.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.
