I do not think this is a filled die. Need some clearer up close pictures of the reverse but looks to me at this point to be a struck through capped die. You can see reverse design still but the deformation seems to be that of the obverse's high points (Washington head outline).
Just an opinion. Looks legit to me.

to the CCF! I can't wait to see the new pics! Please crop and post them with the coin in the correct orientation. (Top at the top.) Very interesting!  Edit: While it might not make a difference on this coin, it's always a good idea not to touch the surfaces of a possibly valuable coin. Handle the coin by the edges only and wear cotton gloves when possible. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Deep, deep rims make me think it could be a heavy Grease Filled Die strike, but lets see what the others say. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

New pics are rotated 90°, but otherwise fine. Looks like a grease-filled die to me.

So what would be a value for this. This is my first error. Not wanting to sell but just to know. 10$ 5$ 20$. ?

The reverse was struck through "grease". It also shows a "greasy ghost" of Washington's bust. Grease of the right consistency and viscosity tends to flow toward areas of lower effective striking pressure, one of which is the area opposite Washington's bust. The raised grease deposit on the die face leaves a vaguely bust-shaped depression in the coin.

Value (to a collector)? Perhaps $.50-$2. Of course, all depends on what someone would be willing to pay.

Some may think it is a weak strike, but it is not. As mentioned the full rims tells us that it is a Struck Through Grease error.  |
