Coinfusion24 New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 07/18/2025 10:09 am I posted this coin a couple of months ago, but my post was deleted possibly because I accidentally mislabeled it as Michigan and I remember what you guys identified it as. Thank you for your help Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 07/19/2025 1:53 pm It's not a die cap. It was struck by a die cap. The reverse face of this Massachusetts quarter was struck by a rotated, late-stage, multi-struck hammer die cap. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 07/20/2025 11:35 am It's also possible that the reverse face was struck through a rotated, late-stage, multi-struck clad layer. However, the obstructing layer was thinner than your typical clad layer, allowing more of the design to bleed through. Then again, the clad layer might have been struck enough times to have thinned it. If it was a clad layer, then it's possible that the coin was struck with the traditional die setup (obverse die as hammer die). Both setups (traditional and inverted) were in common use at this time.
