Can you guess what the error or PMD is on this coin? 1967 LMC.

First one to guess correctly is a rotten egg!

 

I think it is what is called a capped die. Or, an extreme case of clogged die otherwise known as struck through grease/debris. Both of these are in the error category, not PMD.

 

I am in with the capped die.

 

Congrat's! You're the rotten egg.

 

There’s nothing wrong with the obverse. Lol but the reverse is nice.

 

…a superlative I carry with high esteem and my head held high…Spark

 

Presuming this specimen has a normal weight, the reverse was struck through a split planchet or a planchet derived from rolled-thin cent stock.

 

I was looking at the details of the reverse and was wondering at what point it may have been struck (early, middle, late die cap). I hadn’t considered a split planchet or thin planchet. What indicators had you leaning this way? Or through your experience/mint connections it was determined that these are the most likely suspects? Thanks.
