Dearborn Moderator United States 96735 Posts	Posted 01/13/2022 9:10 pm Quoted from error-ref.com; Quote: Definition: A coin struck through a late-stage die cap will show a strong "ghost image" of the raised design (see Die Cap). Most such errors involve die caps affixed to the hammer die, so we'll focus on those. https://www.error-ref.com/struck_th...%20planchets. Lincoln Cent resource has the same info: http://www.lincolncentresource.com/...Die_Cap.html So according to error-ref, it cannot be a late stage die cap, because the design is not present at all. I still think it was struck through a fine woven linen due to the hash marks on the surface. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 01/13/2022 11:05 pm I was asked for my opinion. I suspect the obverse was struck through an early-stage uniface die cap that started out as a split planchet. The striated surface became the working face of the die cap and transferred its texture to the planchet represented by this coin. Since so little of Lincoln's bust has bled through, I'm guessing this is the second or third coin struck by this die cap. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
