pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 04/24/2010 5:50 pm I think it is a very late stage of struck thru a capped die. The die cap on the obverse die is so thin that most of the obverse design is being struck thru it. Nice brockage. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/24/2010 8:03 pm Looks like a deteriorating die cap. Not the area on the left upper area. Some of the capped die was still affecting that area. I would say it is a keeper. Mike might have a better idea of what it is and what value it is. Hang on till you find out more.

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 04/25/2010 12:12 am It's a generic capped die strike. Struck through a late-stage die cap. There's no way of knowing if the cap was originally striking brockages. It could have started out as a uniface die cap or a cap that was striking counterbrockages. In any event, without incuse, mirror-image design elements, there's no justification for calling it a brockage. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
