1982 misstruck 1C: I've Never Seen Before

I have this penny (1982, believe) where the obverse of the coin has a very weak image of Lincoln, there also appears to be a weak image (as weak as the image of Lincoln) of the Lincoln Monument also on the OBVERSE. The reverse is in perfect shape and nothing is wrong. I have never seen a error like this before and I was hoping to find out what kind of error it is and how much it could possibly be worth. The coin is in an Uncirculated condition.
I am open for opinions, thank you.
(The pictures of the Obverse of the coin are not blurry, if you are wondering, it is how the coin looks)

Struck through capped die. very cool find.

 

I agree. Another coin became stuck on the obverse die and became the defacto die. After a while that coin (which has become a cap on the die) became flattened out and it muted the details of the obverse (because the obverse die was capped) while the reverse details were normal.

Cool find!

 

I am sorry I am new to errors, if a coin is "Struck through capped die" what does that mean and how would it occur? Would it bring any premium?

 

See my post above.

Definitely!

 

Values range for modern and common date coins is $26-$75.
Awesome! Now I could actually do research on the coins because I have a background on how the error occurred, Thank You!

 

Very nice capped die!

P.S. to all the regular cointalkers, glad to see a winner after all of these losing error coins. Glad to see one that isn't PMD!

 

Here is a cool page that will help people understand different errors. It's the Coneca Glossary of Error-Variety Terms.

Good item! Did you find it in change? Roll searching?

 

I found it in change that I go back from my school lunch. I did a double take at first and was really suprised that it was an error coin. It shocked me even more that it is in a condition around BU

 

:thumb: It's amazing what you find floating around out there in change. Doesn't anybody look at their coins?

 

I know that i look at the coins that I always get in my change. Sometimes people look at me funny when im looking through it. I once went to Mcdonalds with my friends and I was going to get $7 back in change, and I asked for it in quarters... They thought it was a joke and started laughing... Funny thing is I found a silver quarter in there.
