323GTX New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 06/18/2014 02:01 am I found this a while ago. I'd like to know the correct terms to use that would describe the coin. The obverse is a mess, while the reverse is pretty much normal. If this is a capped die, I've been unable to find a similar example. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I agree with the assessment so far, but would add that it is a late stage die cap as well - this error would be tougher to see on a late stage die cap anyways. It also looks like it shifted multiple times between strikes. That's simply a great error coin! Report this Post to the Staff

323GTX New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 06/18/2014 10:26 am Many thanks for all the responses thus far -- particularly John1's link to the 1997 example, which seems quite similar to this one. I thought I'd add a few more pics, including some from my USB microscope (which I'm still trying to get the hang of). Also including a photo of the reverse. There is a little something going on with the reverse, above the "S" in "States" and the "E" and "R" in "America", but I'm not sure. Thanks again, everyone! Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 06/18/2014 10:57 am Splits in the copper. It eventually leads to increased corrosion and rot. Watch this on your specimen. Seems you have a $200+ coin in hand. Terrific! Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/18/2014 11:11 am Would a treatment of VerdiCare be a good move or just have it slabbed by PCGS or NGC? 323GTX If you type key words in the search box upper left of page you will find more info. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
sourdough New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 06/18/2014 3:37 pm I concur that pyrbob got it correct first. Nice find! Here is a similar one from my collection that appears to have had the thin cap clipped by another coin or planchet. Report this Post to the Staff

None of those would really help if the corrosion chose to develop later - don't forget, slabs aren't air tight. A slab would probably be called for if resale were in the cards, though, as an indicator of the authenticity of the error. Report this Post to the Staff
sourdough New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 06/18/2014 5:18 pm I'd like to throw this observation out to all of you folks: Has anyone seen this shifted LIBERTY or date on any copper cents (1982 or older)? I was actively collecting struck-thru capped die cents for many years and had, at one time, over 300 coins which I sold to another collector many years ago, keeping only a few. I am of the persuasion that this only happens with zinc cents. I would love to see a copper example. Report this Post to the Staff
