mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 12/29/2011 4:43 pm It's a clashed cap strike, a type of brockage. A late-stage die cap collided directly with the reverse die when a planchet failed to be fed into the striking chamber. The working face of the die cap picked up a partial raised reverse design. It struck the next few planchets, one of them represented by this coin. The result is a strong ghost of Lincoln in association with a crisp, but incomplete brockage. Error coin writer and researcher.

pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 12/29/2011 6:37 pm I don't understand why the date and mintmark are so sharp when it appears by the image of the memorial building that the thin die cap was still covering the date. Report this Post to the Staff
