- This coin was struck from a capped die that had struck several coins, causing the cap to thin out and break right down the center. The date and mintmark are fully visible, although blurred by the cap. The reverse is crisp and gem, showing a small break at 1:00. I love this coin because it hints at the pressure required to strike coins, turning metal to mush, and squeezing and contorting it, until it shatters.
