@silviosi, this is not a 'capped die error'—rather it's struck through a die cap, If it stuck trough a Die Cap will not be an Capped Die Error? How we can name in this case?!!!!!! Sorry maybe I am ignorant on those denominations. |

Sil,
A capped die error refers to the coin/planchet that actually adheres to the die and strikes other planchets. They eventually come off, sometimes after a few strikes, sometimes after many, many strikes.
A struck through a capped die error refers to the planchet that is struck by a die that is already capped by an earlier planchet, just the same way that a planchet can be said to be struck through debris, or foil, or any other foreign material or object.

That becomes the one and only planchet that keeps striking all the planchets after that, until it falls off. Struck through a capped die are all the planchets that that capped die struck. You can have maybe a 100 struck through that capped die, but there will be only one original that stuck to the die. So a capped die error is more rare than struck through capped die error. I type slow. Edited by Cujohn

Thanks HGK3 and Cujohn
Thank for well explain of how we look at this.
I see two definitions on same Mint effect. I do not deny, but how we can determinate which it is because in fact it is same racines on Mint chain.
So this it is my cloud, how determinate those. Mike S and Ken told me on this subject that collectors look differen for different stages.
It is this what I do not catch? Learning it is an mind gold achievement.

The capped die error will have both the obverse and reverse damaged. Some capped dies look like a sewing thimble, They are so cupped. And as far as stages on a struck through capped die, an early stage will not have as much detail as a late stage. The more strikes that are made, the thinner the cap becomes, so more of the die can get through the thinner cap. |

Would this possibly be a brockage error? I talked to some people up at the Carson City location for NNC and they suggested that's what it was.

I don't think this is a brockage. I think a brockage would show a full reverse on the obverse, only backwards. Wait for others to comment.
