<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 118795, member: 4350&quot;]Hi,</p><p>It looks like it could potentially be a late stage capped die strike.&nbsp; Then there is some post mint damage that occurred after the coin left the mint.&nbsp; It would be helpful to see a higher resolution picture. </p><p><br /></p><p>A newly struck coin &quot;sticks&quot; to a die, causing the next coin struck to have a First Strike Mirror Brockage of the coin stuck to the die; by the second strike the mirror is distorted, and later strikes are termed Struck Through A Capped Die.&nbsp; The image gets so distorted after a few strikes that the Mirror image (brockage) is no longer visible but the obverse of the coin shows the effect of being struck through the metal that is stuck to the die.</p><p><br /></p><p>It may still be after mint damage but a better pic would help.</p><p>I hope this helps,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
