coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/14/2010 4:27 pm The difference is that a planchet get stuck on the obverse die and strikes a second planchet. The reverse looks normal but the obverse may be almost obilterated or a larger image of the devices from striking through first planchet. The first planchet sometimes falls off and looks like a cup: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...ian_Cent.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...t_IMAGES.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...ke_byers.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...s_Stamps.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...ie)_imag.jpg The can become bonded into a stack: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...p_Bonded.jpg Two Coins found from the same strike: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._through.jpg The coins struck through a capped die will be normal on the reverse, but distorted on the obverse: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...ie)_imag.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...ansRmine.jpg If the capped die doesn't fall off, it can deteriate and create another look: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._Befos77.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...ams_Coin.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
