Not my coin or pics. I see the reverse lettering but it has the cupped shape of a die cap. Thoughts?

That is an oddly attractive coin! And yes, I'd jump on the die cap wagon. If not a cap, there was "something" between the die and the planchet.

It is showing elements of being a capped die and brockage. I'm thinking it's an elaborate fake. Imo

Curiously attractive, yes. Wouldn't be stunned if it's found to be a fake. End-on pics of the rim in two or three places would be interesting.

If it's true minting brockage, wouldn't it have to have some die clashing? But that doesn't fit with a capped die*. You may be right about the elaborate faked error.... too confusing for my recent anoxic brain injury.

The incused and backward lettering is an indicative of a clever vice job.

post mint manufactured error.
post mint altered coin, not a mint error.

100% altered. The reverse is a "sandwich job" while the obverse has either had a ring excavated into it or was pressed into a ring-shaped object. I strongly suspect the latter, as the sunken ring lies opposite the incuse lettering.

Thanks Mike. There was a tiny bit of me that refused to let it go.

Agree with Chase - this is definitely a vise job.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
