ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19176 Posts	Posted 03/09/2023 08:21 am Pics are fine--considering the inclusion of the full obvers and reverse. Very curious features--particularly (but not limited to) the area around the date. Hoping others will offer opinions. Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8767 Posts	Posted 03/09/2023 08:37 am There have been a few examples of this, that were first thought to be die trails but was later decided to be a very late stage struck through a die cap. Here is a link from traildies.com but as I've said, they are not trails, just some nice examples and an explanation.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/09/2023 10:22 am Looks like a struck through a very thinned die cap. Looks like this die cap was not removed and eventually fell off on its own. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 03/09/2023 5:05 pm Struck through a very late capped die. Probably close to the last strike with this cap. Report this Post to the Staff
Barbette41 New Member United States 38 Posts	Posted 03/09/2023 5:25 pm So it's not post mint damage? It would be pretty cool if it wasn't Report this Post to the Staff
NEWmrMatic Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 03/09/2023 5:28 pm Die caps are not PMD, they are when the cap isn't removed from the die before striking begins. Strike throughs are not PMD either. Edited by NEWmrMatic 03/09/2023 5:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 03/09/2023 6:02 pm Struck through die cap is when a coin after the strike instead of ejecting, sticks to a die. Then the next coin is struck through the stuck coin. It will continue striking coins till it falls off, or removed. Every strike after the cap will show more detail until the cap is so thin that you get one that looks like this one, almost fully struck up. And no, there is no cap that they take off before starting. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96674 Posts	Posted 03/09/2023 6:52 pm No, this is not PMD as it occurred during the striking process. I think that this is a nice example of a thinned die cap. - nice find. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
