ANACS is very reasonable. They even have specials from time-to-time.

Just Got a message in from Mike Diamond:

Hi Coop.

A whole-coin image of the obverse would have helped. Based on what I've seen so far, it looks to have been struck through a very late-stage die cap.

Hopefully, these will help. It's the best I can do with my phone...the camera sucks.

Bezo816, I know how to get a hold of Mike Diamond and I'll do it for you as a favor. I just sent him the link to this thread. We'll see what he thinks.

Oh yeah Coop, you did. I just message him again, telling him that Bezo816 now has full images of his coin, since Mike Diamond needed full images.

There ya go! Continue Coin Roll Hunting and keep getting bankrolls from the bank. You never know what you'll find next, the coins are waiting to be discovered by a coin collector.

Now that I've seen the whole-coin image of the obverse and compared it with the close-up images, I'm no longer confident that this is a capped die strike. The surface texture seems to consist of numerous pinpoint digs and pockmarks, which are likely to have resulted from numerous impacts. I suspect this is post-strike damage. It's also possible that the damage occurred on top of a capped die strike, but that seems to be complicating things more than is required.

I agree with Mike Diamond, not sure that this is a capped die. It might be a Grease Filled Die? Not really sure.
