Struck through die cap coins are pretty neat, and they all look a little different. Which has always made it a little confusing as to exactly what set of circumstances might have been the case to produce the coin. Die caps can clash, rotate, etc. creating more complicated errors. So this one was labeled struck through clashed cap. I asked the seller why he thought it was clashed, and he said it was about the ghost image of Lincoln to the left of the bust. Well I always thought that was kind of normal for these, or maybe part of a rotated cap, but a clash should show some of the memorial not just more Lincolns. Anyway, he had three labeled as clashed cap, and I'm not really seeing it. I'm going to post the first one now, then tomorrow post the second one in this thread, and the following day the third one. Just hoping to stir up a discussion of capped die strikes and what someone should look for to figure them out. Anyone with additional coins are welcome to post them here as well, or link to others already posted on this board. 1972-D Lincoln Memorial cent mint error - struck through late stage die cap   |

Neat capped die I'd say. Typical trailing effect of late stage and no evidence of a clashed strike.

Deteriorating die cap. (Thinning and eventually fall off of the capped die)

Here is the second coin labeled as a clashed cap. Again, I just don't see it. Seems like a very late stage struck through die cap. As for the striations to the left of the hair, they seem like actual die scratches starting to come through as the die cap is nearly gone here. 1973-D Lincoln Memorial cent mint error - struck through die cap   |

As others have indicated, neither the 1972-D nor the 1973-D cent are clashed cap strikes and neither were struck through rotated die caps. These are straight-up generic capped die strikes that were struck by late-stage die caps.

Thanks Mike. I figured these were mislabeled but thought I'd put them up. And I forgot to add the third coin, which also does not look clashed to me, so here it is. 1975 Lincoln Memorial cent mint error - struck through die cap   |

Last image looks like a rotated die cap on the date area.
