<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SPP Ottawa, post: 1578488, member: 39508&quot;]I would like to pick the brain of some of the veteran US error collectors. I am curious as to how common die caps are, with multiple struck coins?? Obviously the end member is this monster</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://stacksbowers.com/Auctions/AuctionLot.aspx?LotID=370659" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://stacksbowers.com/Auctions/AuctionLot.aspx?LotID=370659" rel="nofollow">http://stacksbowers.com/Auctions/AuctionLot.aspx?LotID=370659</a></p><p><br /></p><p>But, generally speaking, are there 2 to 4 coin die caps out there? If so, I assume you only find these in the softer metals, like 1-cent strikes?? Anyone ever hear of a 6 or more coin cap?? </p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I am asking is because I found a Canadian example (3 coin cap), and I am trying to do a little background legwork on an article I intend to submit to Errorscope (CONECA&#039;s journal). As far as I know, due to the lower mintages, my Canadian example is probably unique. I promise I will post some photos here, after the article is submitted/accepted for publication.</p><p><br /></p><p>OK - after a bit more digging, the terminology that seems to be used in the US are &#039;bonded coin errors&#039;. I did find a single example here: <a href="http://www.studium.com/graphics/coins/lbondedset.gif" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.studium.com/graphics/coins/lbondedset.gif" rel="nofollow">http://www.studium.com/graphics/coins/lbondedset.gif</a></p><p><br /></p><p>So the search begins anew, with new key words...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
