It happens when a blank planchet gets stuck to the die and is struck repeatedly, eventually doming around the die and creating the cap, splitting into a fan shape. Known as one of the greatest U.S. error coins, it carries the legendary Simpson pedigree, and for good reason. Check out Die Caps on ebay Check out Die Caps on ebay Report this Post to the Staff
