I found this while sorting some inherited wheats. I can make out the "195" but last digit is tough to read. Opinions, though are appreciated as always, thanks.

Looks pretty cool - don't know about the Die Cap errors though it does look similar to a coin coop posted for a Struck Through Grease. We'll see what the experts say on this.

It is a capped die error. The way you can tell is that it looks like you could fill it with water. The rims are cupped upwards. On the normal rim they are blocked almost squared.

A die cap would be the coin that was capped to the die.

A coin struck through a capped die is what you have.
