1847bill Valued Member United States 465 Posts	Posted 07/07/2025 07:53 am Please explain how this is a capped die. You have a reverse image of the reverse where the obverse should be. If it was a flip over error both sides would show damage. This is a fake man made damaged coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Take a look at the link Tunnioc provided. That should give a proper explanation. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6483 Posts	Posted 07/07/2025 1:45 pm Quote: Please explain how this is a capped die. You have a reverse image of the reverse where the obverse should be. Correct. This isn't the die cap itself. That coin is stuck to the obverse die like a snug bottle cap, getting progressively crushed and distorted with each additional strike. This coin was struck through the die cap coin. That's why the obverse area of this coin was hit with the mutilated reverse of the actual die cap coin. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 07/09/2025 9:42 pm It's a mid-stage brockage -- one of many forms of capped die strikes. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
