Looks like it. These die caps are quite interesting. Very nice find!

Can't find the scale at the moment, I'll get back to you on that. But ya, I'm glad others found it as interesting as I.

Unique. Like the backgrounds also. I could do something with these images.

Very nice. That's the first example of this I've seen.

Appears to be so IMO, it's still heavily distorted but you can clearly see at least one other incuse image of Lincoln on there.

This is an awesome coin. Not sure what the value for something like this is, but I figure it has to be a pretty tidy premium.

Sweet find! How the mint didn't catch this, I don't know. Date appears to be a 2001.

Since the coin features a correctly-facing incuse profile of Lincoln, this coin was struck through a rotated, late-stage die cap.

That's for a regular die cap strike, John1. Wouldn't the fact that this was double struck in the collar *and* a die cap increase the value?

This cent was struck only once. The cap was struck more than once, rotating before the last strike (the one involving the planchet represented by this coin). That said, rotated cap strikes and all other types of shifted cap strikes are worth more than a generic, late-stage capped die strike. Value is commensurate with the clarity and number of incuse images.
