Adam - Not to be gruff with you here, but you might want to learn a little more before giving advise to those who seek the correct answer. This coin is obviously not normal to anyone who has spent any time at all studying the subject.

I'm agreeing with late stage die cap strike. There was some question in my mind with the edge-on image as to whether it was a machine turned coin (worthless) or a die cap strike (valuable). With the face-on images, it's obvious. Nice find!

coppercoins- I now realize what it is but before, I thought it was dirt not a misshapen design, if I saw a different picture than I might have seen what it was, sorry, did not mean to give false advise

Adam_E - Like I said before this isn't an attempt to chastize or to be gruff...but people do come here not knowing who is who and ask questions about stuff that many people here DO know about. They might just trust the first answer they are given, and if it's wrong, they've trusted incorrect information. If you don't know for sure what the answer is, nobody is going to lash out at you if you don't give a difinitive answer - just say it's neat but you don't know. Someone else will come along and give the correct answer if there's enough information posted for them to do so.

Nicely done, Chuck.. and That's usually why I only read in this section, unless I know for sure. And even sometimes when I do post, I try to make sure to also note the distinct possibility that I could be wrong, and to wait for an expert! I still consider myself a newbie to errors, although I learn a great deal by reading these posts.

And... while figuring out the error is a skill, so is being able to actually tell the error from a non-error from images alone. Adam, what you might want to try is copying some of the pictures down to your computer (especially where there are really nice & big detailed ones) and zooming in different areas. That has helped me sometimes when trying to see something others see right off the bat, but I don't. Just a suggestion

Thanks for the answers guys! If I remember correctly I got it as change back at a store about 5 years ago and I was going through my safe the other day and figured I would see if anyone knew what it was! I cannot see a date on it, just too blurred!

Definitely, as noted by some...struck through a capped die.

Have Fun,
Bill
