Continuing my educational winter time coin journey. First cool find of the winter from the summer collection bucket. Zincoln (2.5 g) struck through capped die? It looks a lot like the other cents posted on CCF. Tried to zoom the date area with no luck. The zOrb cant get the whole coin in the shot. I can make out the 19 with a loop but can't make out the rest. Photo's good enough for a second opinion? Strong reverse. Danny Edited by Hvbassman 12/31/2011 5:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff

unholyroller Pillar of the Community United States 1903 Posts	Posted 12/30/2011 11:23 pm I would say you have a winner there, the obverse side has multiple partial light strikes of the reverse in various orientations all over it. If you keep an open mind you can see the lower right of the memorial multiple times. Report this Post to the Staff

I caught a 15 lb steelhead the other day and it was so cold ice was forming on my rod tip. Anyway, the coin looks awesome. Nice find! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/02/2012 10:18 am Looks like a deteriating die cap. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 01/04/2012 5:48 pm Yes, it was struck through an obverse die cap. Since the ghost of Lincoln is faint, it was probably not struck by a late-stage die cap. Instead, it was probably struck through a uniface die cap, i.e., one that never had any design on its working face. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
Hvbassman New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 01/05/2012 05:53 am Thanks for looking. I named him leather-face. From a distance Lincoln kinda looks likes he's wearing a Texas Chainsaw Massacre leather face mask. Report this Post to the Staff
