Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 07/06/2014 3:17 pm Neat looking, is the other side normal? Not the expert on capped dies. But seems they can form on the die like a stack of bottle caps. One on top of the other, not always in alignment as the stack grows. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 07/06/2014 4:25 pm Impossible to say for sure what generated the odd topography. The area to the left of the curved line looks to shallow to be a conventional indent. It's often the case that capped die strikes present puzzling textures and topographies.

sourdough New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 07/06/2014 5:03 pm The indent referred to I believe to have occurred several strikes previous to this one. I'm wondering what the extraneous metal on the right-hand border of the old indent is, if not another dislodged cap such as Halo1st described. Mike, I think you have seen this next pic previously (one of my coins). I believe you said it was a CDS with a blank planchet causing the indent, upon which I readily concur.
