Hi all!

I've been hunting a few rolls of pennies and found this guy; and would like your opinion on it. Is it PMD? Or is it something else? Thank you for your time!

to the CCF!

IMO, it is a capped die strike! Congrats! I think It is unusual to see it on a modern zinc coin though.

This coin was struck through a dislodged and shifted capped die. Note the extra Liberty to the north and partial date tops to the north. The bust also has design elements that are doubled.
A most excellent find , Congrats !
Rest in Peace

Congratulations. That is a real winner. Be sure to get it in an air tight and to not breath over it. The zinc plates are terribly susceptible to rot and it would be a true shame for that beauty to come to harm.

Thank you all! Does anyone have an estimate of grade or value? I currently have this guy in a ziplock bag while I obtain proper flips for my pieces.
