<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 1049993, member: 1859&quot;]The cent at the top of this thread is a clashed cap strike -- a type of brockage.&nbsp; A late-stage die cap with a thin floor and featureless working face contacted the reverse die directly when a planchet was not fed into the striking chamber.&nbsp; The working face of the die cap picked up a partial impression from the reverse die.&nbsp; The result is a coin with a strong, raised ghost image of Lincoln overlain by a crisp but incomplete brockage.&nbsp; This coin probably represents the first impression of the clashed cap.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
