Description

Obverse Die Cap 1977-D Nickel
MS67 Six Full Steps

1977-D 5C Jefferson Nickel--Obverse Die Cap--MS67 Six Full Steps NGC. Ex: New England Collection. The first strike was normal, but instead of getting ejected, the coin stuck to the obverse die. It was struck at least one additional time, with a planchet (not included) fed between the reverse die and the reverse of the present piece. The force of the additional strike(s) caused the piece to expand in diameter and partly wrap around the obverse die, while reverse details are blurry due to the strike against the planchet.
