A die cap happens when a coin gets stuck to the die after being struck. The die cap had been stuck on the die for so long that it was wearing thin, leaving a ghost image of the design.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8740 Posts	Posted 08/08/2025 08:59 am That's a pretty cool example! It would appear to be a 1973 D coin. You can see one of the lighter versions of "Recurring die subsidence error" on the reverse.
