<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 848935, member: 1859&quot;]If the wall and floor of the reverse face are featureless, then you&#039;re dealing with a uniface die cap.&nbsp; With respect to the slabbed Lincoln cent, there is no easy way to tell if it was struck more than once.&nbsp; A centered, broadstruck, uniface cent will also curl up toward the hammer die with the first strike.&nbsp; It&#039;s mate would also be a broadstruck, uniface cent, but the bottom coin would expand mainly in the horizontal plane.&nbsp; Again, you&#039;d have a &quot;cup-and-saucer&quot; arrangement.</p><p><br /></p><p>With its exceedingly high wall, the middle coin is certainly a die cap.&nbsp; I can&#039;t be sure about the coin on the right, but I suspect it&#039;s an anvil die cap (Canadian coins are struck with the anvil die functioning as the obverse die).</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d say more than 50% of coins slabbed as &quot;die caps&quot; by the major grading services represent other kinds of errors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
