Looks more like a Struck Through Grease issue than a die cap to me. Still a great find!

I feel this is a Struck Through Grease issue and not a struck through a capped die. Why? Note the edge of the rim and the fields. Note the sharp edge on the inside near the field area? It is normal. On a struck through a capped die, that area is cupped.

I'd save it as an educational piece for a new collector. A lot of new collectors now know what to look for on a capped die strike.

I agree worth saving in a 2x2--there is a bunch of detail missing.
