1847bill Valued Member United States 465 Posts	Posted 03/23/2019 10:26 am I bought this dime from a dealer for $10. However I'm struggling to figure out what this is. The bust impression is raised and there is three impressions of the bust and slightly rotated. The rim is raised but not sharp on the obverse. The reverse doesn't appear affected. I hope someone will have an idea what happened to this dime. Bill Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/23/2019 11:37 am Rotating capped die struck your coin. Very nice find! So you have a struck through rotating capped die error. I've only seen three so far counting your coin. So it's a rare find. First dime I've seen. Edited by coop 03/23/2019 2:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff

1847bill Valued Member United States 465 Posts	Posted 03/23/2019 2:23 pm Thanks both for your comments. It all makes sense when you know to call it. I was able to read up on it. A google search yeilded good reading but very little comparable information. I think I'll send it in for grading. Report this Post to the Staff

SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 03/23/2019 5:05 pm So...this was a steal of a lifetime right? Where can I find out the value of these errors? I'm sure there's a book or something, I might need it if I'm going to coin shows I might need to look out for premium errors. I feel very stupid asking the question but I hope you all understand.

1847bill Valued Member United States 465 Posts	Posted 03/23/2019 7:07 pm I purchased from a gold and silver shop. It has been fruitful. Most of the gold guys are intersted in buying and turning. This was apparently part of a collection and he wasn't interested in it. Good for me. As far as worth I don't know. No comps. Capped die coins go for $100 to several hundred.

brookeAD5683 Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 05/30/2019 10:07 pm Oh hah thanks. And I did but didn't notice the doubled face until after the fact. Then I saw this one Report this Post to the Staff
1847bill Valued Member United States 465 Posts	Posted 03/17/2021 5:43 pm I've been meaning to readdress this coin for some time. I sent it to ANACS to grade and attribute the error. It didn't come back as I had hoped. They graded the dime AU50 which is ok. They called it a struck through late stage die cap. That also is ok because that is what it is. The rub is there is no indication of the the ghost images of the bust on the obverse. I saw a similar dime on Mike Diamonds site. Have a look here. http://www.error-ref.com/capped-die...ling-raised/ Should there be another designation to this coin? Please let me know what you think. Report this Post to the Staff
