biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/18/2015 3:49 pm A die cap(a coin that adheres to the die as it is struck, thus acting as a new die) and a coin struck through a capped die are two entirely different errors and are not comparable in rarity or value. Die caps are quite rare and can command huge premiums depending on coin type while coins struck through a capped die are considerably more common. Report this Post to the Staff

There's three extra zeros on the price. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/18/2015 10:14 pm The biggest problem is that the hole turns the coin into a cull and most collectors don't want that. So that lowers the price a lot when the coin is damaged that way. But if you were submitted it, I would send it to ANACs. They would probably grade it as real, but probably no grade. I would probably keep it until I found a collector that really wanted it in that condition. On auction it might not do well for the seller. Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 02/20/2015 08:59 am I would say yours, was struck by a much later stage die cap than the examples given here from ebay and Heritage. The two graded examples show a nice later stage brockage, whereas yours shows a ghost of Lincoln, from the flow of metal transferred to your coin through the capped obverse die. In the error market, earlier struck brockages and counter brockages are always much more desirable than a ghosting effect...
