coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/29/2015 07:29 am A die cap is what is struck to the die and now dislodged. Struck through a die cap leaves the die cap that prevents the strike.: Rotating die cap. (the cap is getting loose on the die) Edited by coop 06/29/2015 1:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 06/29/2015 12:36 pm Coop, your second image down looks like a late stage brockage to me. It's labeled as being a "Die Cap." Edited by koinpro 06/29/2015 12:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 06/29/2015 9:11 pm I read something about die caps, but interpreted it incorrectly. This coin is deeply inset in the middle, that is, the edge comes up on both sides of the coin. The rim is very thin. The pictures do it little justice. Report this Post to the Staff
