Struck Through Die Cap

Recently, a friend of mine lost her dad to Pancreatic Cancer (combined with Pneumonia, and a case of Covid for a kicker). Turns out, her dad was a hoarder and had a huge crate of coins. As I'm going through them, I'll post some interesting things I find.

I'm pretty sure this is a "struck through die cap" error, but if you have alternative theories I'm welcome to them. Are there any diagnostics of a genuine struck through die cap? The weight is correct.

Any estimates on value?

its a capped die i think its an early die state?value around $40-$50?just my opinion.

 

very nice error coin you got there

 

Not a capped die coin, It is a coin struck through or with a capped die, as the OP stated correctly.
Closer to being struck with a middle to late stage capped die due to partial date an liberty starting to show through the coin that is the cap. IMO.

Any idea on value on this one?

Maybe @JCro57 or @Fred Weinberg would know?

I'm trying to appraise this collection for my friend... disposal may be determined by value.

 

Ha, I just found a second one! This guy seemed to like oddballs. I can definitely make out the same 3 digits of the date on this second one, 197.

I wonder if it's possible to prove it came from the same "die" - and I wonder how the value would behave if sold as a pair?

 

I don't think your find one for under 50 bucks

 

It's struck THRU a thinning die cap.

Value: as others have stated, $35-$50 retail, imo.

 

For anyone curious, I sold both of these on Ebay last night, for about $20 each. A bit lower than everyone was predicting.
