He kept it. While doing a box recently, a also found a 1999p exactly like the one he found. Anyone ever heard of a mint error like that? Report this Post to the Staff

JonNickelCollector Pillar of the Community United States 851 Posts	Posted 12/04/2011 6:24 pm From what I can see of your picture, yes! What are capped dies? Do our finds have any value? Report this Post to the Staff
brenpickle Pillar of the Community United States 836 Posts	Posted 12/04/2011 6:50 pm A capped die is when another coin sticks to the die. It continues to strick other coins until the coin stuck to the die falls off. The one pictured is struck through a late stage capped die and not many features of the revers transferred. As for value yes they do, but I am unfamiliar with how much. Someone else might be able to explain this better. Here is a spot you can read about struck through capped dies http://www.lincolncentresource.com/...Die_Cap.html Edited by brenpickle 12/04/2011 6:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
