Not a split planchet or any other error.   

You don’t show the whole coin but it is too worn to see any of the markers indicating a 1888/7.

   The date on this excessively worn (Poor to Fair details) and scratched Indian cent appears to be 1882. It definitely isn't an 1888, much less an 1888, 8 over 7, as the last feather in the bonnet points between the letters "I" and "C" of AMERICA.  This feather points between "C" and "A" on all coins minted after 1886. Check your "Redbook". If you don't have one, please get one.

I see an 1882 Poor details extremely worn Indian Head cent with scratches and environmental damage. The third "8" should look like the other two 8's and it is shaped differently and has a dark area to the right which is empty space because it is a numeral 2. In its current state, I would not even use this as a hole filler in a album.

I agree it looks more like a normal 1882 1C in Fair condition with significant wear and damage.  May be worth a few bucks to someone putting together a lowball set, but finding them is another story.
