Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75042 Posts	Posted 06/11/2018 7:56 pm Not a Struck Through a Capped Die error. It's Die Deterioration (die wear) from a worn die. I also see Die Deterioration Doubling as well. Your coin is worth face value, because this is not collectable and is part of normal wear and tear on the die. http://www.error-ref.com/die-deteri...on-doubling/ http://www.error-ref.com/struck_thr...age_die_cap/ Errers and Varietys.

gmanp135 New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 06/11/2018 10:43 pm In truth,I hadn't even considered the doubling aspect of the coin,I was focusing on the fact that the obverse side has an obvious bow that appears as if a smaller coin or object was struck across it's face while the reverse side seems to bulge outward,a metal straightedge lain across the face will rest on the edges of the coin leaving fairly large space through the center,the opposite is true of the reverse,where the straight edge is unable to touch rim to rim because of the outward bulge, Report this Post to the Staff
