Is this a struck through Die Cap or is it damage? I can tell if the weak mushy image is from polishing or buffing. I've never held a struck through Die Cap before so I'm not too sure what to look for to verify. There seems to be some sort of shiny layer in some areas. Is that paint? There is also some heavy scratches on the left side of the obverse.

Any ideas?
