djay1 Valued Member United States 151 Posts	Posted 07/09/2016 07:36 am I need help on these 2 struck through errors. The first I'm fairly certain is struck through a capped die. The second appears similar, but I'm not quite sure. Any opinions are appreciated. coin 1 coin 2 (1992?) Report this Post to the Staff

Grease was applied occasionally to extend die wear and prevent capping, a balancing act that was obviously difficult to get right. The die caretaker would notice a capped die and not apply grease over it. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/09/2016 11:01 am There are two things that tell me that this is a struck through a capped die. 1. The Memorial base through the head. 2. The edges next to the rim are not sharp, but tapered. Because the die is capped, the edge of the die is prevented from making the squared edge that we always see. On the obverse, there would be no way for grease to prevent the strike, as it is already covered with a die cap. On the reverse you could see any problem with a grease strike, but not on the obverse. Hope this helps. Edited by coop 07/09/2016 12:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
