PennehChaos Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 08/08/2008 12:07 pm Just wondering if that's the correct term for this... I assume it's a mint error since the reverse is nice and clear. Found in my parents penny jar when I was a kid. Report this Post to the Staff

seattleMD Valued Member United States 405 Posts	Posted 08/08/2008 12:29 pm I don't think this is a capped die b/c a capped die is when a coin remains stuck on a die after being struck and then you see the high points of the full image of the coin transfered onto further coins. It looks like it was struck through the edge of another coin that failed to eject properly. Not sure what the technical term is though. Report this Post to the Staff

PennehChaos Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 08/08/2008 2:07 pm Thanks for the clarification! Unfortunately, I don't have the other coin involved in the strike... I would expect it to be too badly mangled to get through the scanner? It would be extremely cool to have the matched set! Report this Post to the Staff
