<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 99515, member: 66&quot;]Definitely NOT a capped die strike.&nbsp; In fact a capped die strike would NOT show a high rim like this thing does.&nbsp; I think what GDJMSP was thinking of was the die cap itself which, when the metal is forced up around the shank of the die can show a very high rim.&nbsp; However in the case of such a die cap the INSIDE of the high rimmed side will show a sharp clear image of the design, and the side WITHOUT the high rim will either show an expanded distort design image, or no image at all.&nbsp; This is the opposite of the piece in question.</p><p><br /></p><p>No this is a machine cent intended to have a dime fit inside it.&nbsp; You wil find that a dime will just about fit inside the rim of a cent.&nbsp; So the area inside that is machined (exposing the silver grey zinc inside) and the a dime that has been planed down in thickness slightly is glued into it.&nbsp; In this case either the dime has fallen out, or it was never finished in the first place.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
