CC, It does look like a cap doesn't it? At one time I had two rolls of a 1955-S Lincoln Cent Cud on reverse that had damaged the obverse over Lincoln's head and I advertised those in Coin World, Numismatic News and COINage Magazine for several years for $25 each calling them "Capped Head Lincolns" describing them in the text as die damage Obv / Cud Rev. That was back when I was advertising the 1979-P Near Date dollars, 1974-D DDO halves, 1984 DDO-002 cents, 1959-D Trip D cents, 1961-D/Hz/D cents, etc., every week in 1/4 to full page ads. It took several years to sell all 99 of the "Capped Heads" but today at $25 each, they'd fly out the door in no time. I kind of wished I kept a few. Was a neat coin.

Pre-Cud and Cud. Pre-Cud does not seem to match the Cud but these were found with these Cuds and share the same markers.
