MrPink2018 Pillar of the Community United States 2503 Posts	Posted 01/20/2018 6:51 pm John1, how can you tell it's a capped die? when I looked at it I thought it was a grease strike-through or similar. Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/20/2018 7:08 pm E&V gave ya the site and page LOOK at it. You'll see the different stages and learn how they're formed. your's is a very late stage where the cap coin has been pounded so thin the original image of the hammer die it's hooked to is showing thru.
