    I can't remember the name of the error but I don't think it's a cap die

    Edit: I think its a defective die

    Sorry, but it just looks like an environmentally damaged coin that had a bad encounter with something corrosive. Not an error of any kind

    enviornmental damage to both sides.

    What you see on the coin all occurred
    well after the coin was already in circulation.

    The obv. might have been buffed, but the
    rev. is corroded.

    Not an error coin of any kind, I'm sorry to say.

    The obverse just looks mushy/dull very faint details like a capped die strike but with most details still visible on the coin i had doubts that it was a capped die most likely damage but you never know until you know the truth.

    Nope.. Acid damage. Not a Mint Error.
    Guessing will confuse the OP.

    Keep in mind.. Just because a coin looks different does not automatically make it a mint error. Many times it is PMD - Post Mint Damage.

    Peace

    No.. Those would be altered post mint.

    There are some examples of coins struck with 2 Obverse Dies or 2 Reverse Dies but they are extremely rare. They are attributed examples
