    Good evening all

    I’m still running through a huge amount of quarters and came across a bicentennial with a very deep edge on the obverse and wanted to know if it’s possibly a die cap? Any help as always will be much appreciated

    Not a die cap at all.
    The edge was spooned. The reeding was flattened. The reverse is damaged.

    Thanks for the reply, why do people do this kind of thing to coins :rage:
     
  5. I think that we should make a maximum security prison for people who screw with coins like this.

    Nah. Too drastic. Leave that for the murderers and rapists.

    So companies that alter coins to make novelty coins should go to prison also? Sheesh.

    I wouldn’t quite class this as a novelty to be fair but each to their own. Oh well on to the next Roll

    Made a mistake can't think tonight:dead::dead: this is a good proper example of an obverse die cap. A reverse die cap looks very similar depending on what stage its in. 20210924_203925.jpg
