Khromtau Pillar of the Community United States 676 Posts	Posted 02/26/2023 9:30 pm Got this Nickel at a coin show a few years before COVID, paid $20 for it and the dealer I got it from had "Real?" Written on the 2x2. So I was wondering if it was real? It weighs 5.0 grams, the struck through side has some metal flow lines, and I think I can see some remaining roller lines. The date might be 198x something, but IDK. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/27/2023 05:55 am Very nice find. I would give it a 100% pure acetone dip and put it in an Air-Tite capsule. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15441 Posts	Posted 02/28/2023 05:51 am Nice example. Agree through through a die cap. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/28/2023 10:50 am Correct term: Struck through a "Capped Die." This one is a later capped die issue. Note the capped die is thinning and the design is starting to show through the capped die die. Capped Die: Earlier Capped die strike will show the design on the capped die from the reverse: Later will show the outline of the die coming through the capped die: On this one, more than one capped dies bonded together.
