Do you guys have any idea of the value or rarity? I weighed it and it was 5 grams exactly. Thanks for any feedback! Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15391 Posts	Posted 03/14/2011 6:59 pm First ... to the CCF. Your Jefferson is struck through a capped die ... nice find indeed. Not rare ... but for sure not common either. As to value I can't offer an expert opinion .... search ebay for 'capped die' and let us know what you come up with. This is a genuine USA mint error. In simple terms ... what happened here is that a previously struck Jefferson was stuck (adhered, capped) to the obverse die ... and so when your coin entered the minting chamber the 'capped' obverse die left a very mush impression upon striking. Can you read the date? Nice find ... thanks for sharing. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

I can't read the date I have looked at it through a 10x loupe and you can barely see the impression of "In God we trust" that is about it. Thanks for the information I appreciate it Report this Post to the Staff
