Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 01/04/2022 11:06 am It does look like a struck through die cap, I have not studied much about them. The examples I just checked out don't have an image of the reverse showing on the obverse. Is this a normal occurrence? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/04/2022 11:10 am I'd call that a mid stage capped die. Note more of the design of the reverse is still present. On the later stages it goes away so it is almost all gone. Earlier: Later: Then the metal gets even thinner: Sometimes gets so loose that it starts to rotate between strikes: Eventually gets even worse and starts to fall apart. Sometimes more than one planchet is added to the capped die: The capped die prevents a normal strike to happen. So these are called a "struck through a capped die". The cap that was attached to the die, is called a die cap. Some are works of art: Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. CoopHome: Capped dies and die caps. The difference?
