I'm rethinking this now, but it would make sense if it were struck through a clashed cap. Edited by ErrorCoins222 08/09/2012 2:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2740 Posts	Posted 08/11/2012 9:21 pm As errorcoins222 said, this cent was struck once through a clashed cap that rotated after the clash but before the strike that generated this coin. A clashed cap strike is a form of brockage. It's a secondary brockage instead of a primary brockage. A primary brockage is generated by the original raised design on a coin.
