Agrippa Pillar of the Community United States 663 Posts	Posted 10/14/2015 8:28 pm How does a capped die happen? Does that mean the planchet was the wrong size/too big and wrapped around the outside of the die? Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 10/15/2015 02:54 am The planchet was not too big, but just adhered to the die after striking. After creating some brockages, the pressure caused it to flow around the sides of the die. The bottom of the bottle cap-shaped coin became very thin, so the image could be transferred through onto your coin. Report this Post to the Staff
