It looks like it was stuck through a late stage die cap, but the incuse image of the reverse on the obverse seems a little too distinct. Other examples of this type of error don't seem to have the same distinct impression on the obverse. E Pluribus Unum is quite readable, although slightly askew and stretched. Here are pictures: Could this be a blend of errors, or am I off base entirely? Any help in valuing this coin would be greatly appreciated as well. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 06/16/2011 6:53 pm That would be a late stage brockage. It is still struck through a capped die but the die cap is also still able to transfer the reverse detail. This one is interesting though because it appears that the die cap is deteriorating but the brockage is still present. I would estimate value at $25-40, towards the top end if the date and mintmark are legible. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 06/17/2011 10:31 pm It's a late-stage brockage. The floor of the die cap was thin enough to let a strong ghost image of Roosevelt bleed through. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
