I was thinking maybe some type partial brockage but I'll stick with severe die deterioration. Cool looking though! Neat find.

The coin was struck through a late-stage die cap. The wrinkled surface and mushy design is characteristic of such errors. As errors go, these are relatively common and bring a price of about $15 on eBay. I don't see any doubling of design elements, but such effects are known in association with capped die strikes, and arise from a number of causes. __________________ President, CONECA.

I do it all the time It was tongue-in-cheek After studing this coin for awhile I decided that it was pretty much the only thing that would make it look like this. The detail was pretty strong, but it looked like something that was thin, had been placed over the die. It didn't have the same look as a strike through, and most other things would (IMHO) make some of the detail missing. While I still wanted to see Mikes thoughts I was pretty sure.
