Looks like a late stage brockage to me - but I'm not very sure (I'm about the opposite of an expert).

I agree.
To explain what happened, not just the name
when a previously struck coin sticks to the die that was used to stamp it, the die is then stamped down on the next (few) coins but instead of having the picture that is supposed to go one the obverse (face) it now has a protruding image of the reverse. This makes a messy image that is the opposite of the reverse. i.e. incused where the reverse would be protruding
Very nice.

to CCF. As stated before, this is struck through a late stage capped die. These go from $30-$40. A capped die happens when a coin gets stuck to the hammer die, which then strikes more coins, creating a literal cap on the die. When coins are struck through it, it creates a larger image on the coin that was on the cap. When the die cap falls off, normally they will be taken and melted, but sometimes, they slip into bags. The cap itself goes for around $200 |
