<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 976761, member: 66&quot;]A capped die strike and a brockage are closely related.&nbsp; If a coin gets stuck to say the hammer die as striking continues it makes brockages.&nbsp; Then as the coin stuck to the die spreads it makes late stage brockages.&nbsp; If it speads and thins to the point the design disappears then it makes capped die strikes.&nbsp; If it thins enough that the design of the die starts to show through again then it makes late stage capped die strikes.&nbsp; And if it finally gets thin enough that the die design shows with just slight distortion then you have a very late stage capped die strike.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin is somewhere between a late stage brockage and an early stage capped die strike.&nbsp; The brockage of the reverse is enlarged and spread, and the image of Lincoln is just starting to show through the die cap.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, I see Ziggy has already covered it, but abe is wrong it is not a late stage die cap.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
