Hi all, Another new acquisition.. This is a Obverse Struck Through Capped Die Mint Error I want to share this webpage with you - http://www.error-ref.com/obversediecap/ Enjoy
@paddyman98 - I wonder if it would be possible for the grading service to x-ray the coin to determine the date? Chris
The date was never there, so there's nothing to X-Ray. It was covered by the Die Cap that struck this coin.
Fred and Paddyman98 are right. I could x-ray it but the date was never there so there is nothing to see. But if you gave me the capped die I could x-ray through the cap and read the date just fine. If it came out of a roll of new cents then you could make the assumption that it was from the same year. I have done that with a planchet I found in a roll of 98D cents.
Cool coin paddyman, I was suprised to see your post at the top of the list when I got online after 5 days of being away. Only because I was able to pick-up a coin like yours this past weekend. [my first] I went on a little coin vacation to New York no less. Will be posting it soon.
