The slab label is incorrect on several counts. Were the diagnosis correct, the label should read "die cap" not "capped die". Second of all, there's no evidence that this coin was struck more than once. This is a typical appearance for a deeply cupped broadstrike with a first-strike brockage of the obverse design on the reverse face. It is, in other words, the "cup" of a "cup-and-saucer" mated pair. The underlying coin would have been a double struck reverse die cap. The grading services always mislabel these errors.
