Any ideas on the type of error is this a capped die?

Lets see the reverse.

It could be post mint.

I'd reserve judgement.

 

Welcome to the forum.
A picture of the reverse is necessary for this determination. Thanks

 

welcome!
:kewl:Can u post a closeup obv & rev???

 

I'd like to see the reverse as well, but it sure looks like it was struck through something, most likely a late stage die cap.

 

Can someone breifly explain what a capped die is (looks like) and how it happens?

 

See if this helps;
