CAPPED DIE?

I just found on the ground outside a local 7-11.



What do you think?

I believe a capped die, obverse.

Not a capped die, sorry.

It might be a filled die, but your
photos aren't the best.

There is also surface damage to it,
especially on the obverse.
(staining/corrosion/etc,.)

A bit closer photo, sharp and clear,
would be helpful.

 

Comments:


Please don't ask for a clearer picture of the obverse, that is as clear as in person.

Yes, there is some crud on Lincoln's portrait, and he is faintly visible, but, absolutely no date visible, LIBERTY is there but very weak.

 

Funny, but I posted while you were posting, Fred.

 

Ok, no problem.

Then it's a possible filled die, with
corrosion and staining.

Hard to know if the weak or missing
design elements are from the filled
die, or from something that happened
to the coin as part of the surface
corrosion. (hard to know from that photo)
