That is a very interesting peice there rujam, I am wondering if that is some sort of "die adjustment" striked coin or maybe even a "capped Die" coin, either way it could be a valuable peice. I am not familiar with what would actually cause that myself unless it was something like that. I do however want to say "Welcome Back" I havent seen you post in a long time and was wondering where you had gotten off to. I dont know if you remember me or not but I am the one who found this forum because of your post on your 8TF Morgan when I was looking for information on mine

Appears to be a capped die strike to me. The obverse die had a planchet stuck to it. As the die strikes additional coins, the obverse die strikes those coins through the planchet stuck to the die, resulting in either no design, or a muddied design depending on how long the cap has been stuck to the die and how thin it has become.

A die cap is the coin stuck to the die, and capped die strikes are the coins struck by the die while it had another coin stuck to it.
