Item No. 91177 EGYPT: 5 qirsh, 2004/AH1425, KM-731, capped die error, Uncirculated. Capped die error happens when a struck coin gets stuck on the upper coin die. This coin then acts as the face of the die and will be called a capped die coin. When the next planchet (blank coin) is placed on the collar for striking, the newly struck coin would bear the brockage error (mentioned in the previous number). If the striking of coins goes on without the stuck coin removed from the upper die, the capped die coin deforms into a shape similar to a bottle cap or a thimble as this example is. |
