Die cap proof?

Like I said I'm not talking about the rim of the coin I know they all have the same rims I'll have several 63 in front of me I'm talking about the letters being turned into the coin NOT THE RIM and the coin is 100% ckncaved so doesn't that meat the criteria for a die cap coin?

Great question!

Cents in the 1960s were struck in a higher relief than later coins. This has to do with how dies were prepared at the mint and how the practice changed over time. This phenomenon can be observed on all 1963 1 cent coins.

Here are some I found for comparison. The design on coins just two decades later is noticeably flatter.




As for edge lettering bending into the coin, this is also a common feature of higher relief strikes.

 

thank u ur the first one to actually answer me and not just imply I'm an idiot I have noticed that all 1963 tend to look like this actually most of the coins I've came across from the 60s are like that this one is just a lil more defined in the aspects I stated so that's why I assumed it was a die cap could u please maybe explain to me a better way to identify diecaps that aren't severe diecaps?

 

A capped die would look something more like this:




(Also not my images).

By the way, you’re not an idiot for asking questions. Being intuitive is actually a sign of intelligence. I think the reason some people may have gotten irritated is because no matter how sure of something you may be, its still better to have an open mind. I feel that many people were trying to help but came across a bit rude. I hope my images help somewhat

 

I'm sorry but anyone that wasn't trying to be correct could have looked at those examples of die caps and seen that they looked nothing like the coin in the OP.

 

I’m not feeling good about this thread. The OP has been told a half dozen times that his coin is not what he thinks it is, but he goes on and on. I’ve heard this old tune all too often.

 

If that's all u have to say why are u even commenting I am new to this and just trying to figure things out so ur "not feeling good about this post" I honestly could care less how it makes u feel and prob everyone else feels the same way I don't need the opinion of rude degrading people thank u but I'd appreciate it if u just didn't rreply to any of my posts ty

 

Gotcha, you came here with the answer,
Heck why did you even ask the question right?
Hang out,you might just learn something.

 

It's not about being blind or not.. It's about listening to people like myself who specialize in Mint Errors. I have 34 years under my belt collecting, attributing and helping new collectors with their questions.. It does not meet the criteria you think. It is not a Die Cap. And all the members have correctly an answered your questions.

Here are some major 3rd party graders information you can send your Cent to have it attributed. This way you can pay a lot for an attribution -

I’ll comment any time I wish. If you don’t like it, tough beans.

 

I definitely would like to see what Heritage had to say about the coin!

 

This ploy of Heritage and Stacks looking at the coin, is being used to try and make the OP right and all us wrong. It never happened, even though they would like us to believe it did.
