Just picked this one up, great off center 1998 Lincoln Capped Die (looks like an off center bottle cap). Stands over 1/4" high.

It's kinda like this one. What's the rev look like?

That one is just a broadstrike out of collar. This one looks like a bottle cap where it stuck to the die and climbed up the sides of it as it continued to try to strike planchets. It's so tall it wouldn't fit into a slab. The reverse is uniface.

I don't think mine is just a broadstrike. It has at least two strikes. It's very cupped in shape, but will still fit in a 2X2. The exploded obv implies the it was striking something other than the die (I presume another planchet) while the rev is well struck on the last impression. I'd like to hear what error guys say.

I see what you mean, looks like it was fully struck once then another plachet sat on top and struck again causing the cup shape and the huge flow while allowing the reverse to be fully struck a second time.

There should be a brockage out there that matches the obv on mine. Would be a cool set to have. By thew way the bottle cap look is pretty cool. Wonder how many strikes it takes to get there.
