I think it is the same type error but yours is with a more deteriorated die cap. But I am just an amateur and a not very good one at that. Still Lookin

Odd that we would see two of these within a weeks time. Nice find if that's what it is, and it appears to be!

I am trying to understand how the devices are transferred from the struck through die cap to the new coin. Would it be correct to say that the die cap does not have features of the reverse on it and is so thin that the features of the obverse, which are on the die cap, basically pass through it to leave the incuse marks on the new coin?

I have a different theory about this error. We all know what a Grease Filled Die error looks like, right? Well if that chunk of debris fell loose from the die and was struck into the coin's surface, we would see an error like this one. I haven't seen any errors matching my description listed anywhere yet, but that doesn't mean it isn't possible. I do know of examples where part of the debris has came loose and became impressed into the remaining gunk, and will leave a raised image on the coin's surface. This is called Grease Mold Doubling as seen on this 1998 Lincoln Cent.  If the debris were struck into the coin's surface, the image would be incuse, not raised. That may be what we are seeing here, and would explain why the details are not stretched or out of shape like one would see if it were a capped die. Maybe Mike can chime in here and give us his opinion about it. To see more images of this 1998 cent, visit this page: http://www.lincolncentsonline.com/F...oubling.htmlEdited by cwb
