Found this cent in a roll. I'm thinking it's a capped die or post mint damage. I don't remember enough about capped dies to figure out which is it. The reverse is a normal image. Help me out. Also could someone explain how a capped bust occurs regardless what this is? I want to be able to identify one if I ever come a cross one.

OOPPSS! fORGOT THE PICS.

Here it is
Wheew! Finally got it third try. May I make a suggestion: how about making the preview bar code RED and the post it now bar GREEN. I've made this same mistake too often.

I lean toward a capped die. If the reverse looks relatively normal then it probably is a capped die. If the reverse is the same as the obverse then I suspect the coin has been tampered with.

Wow! I am surprised. I had a feeling the normal reverse was going to give a it post damage status. Thanks Bill.
