I don't really know which is less common. i don't collect errors so I don't know which type you would encounter more often.
I don't like it. The think bottoms to the letters in the motto don't seem right, same for the mintmark, and in the first image if you blow it up...
It may possibly be the remains of Longacre doubling. Longacre doubling disappeared on the obverse in 1886, but can sometimes still be found on...
