Bob Levi Valued Member Canada 488 Posts	Posted 09/01/2015 10:37 pm I saw this on ebay and I was curious exactly what it is. Is it a offstruck brockage? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

This is from the CCF glossary brockage - A brockage is a Mint error, an early capped die impression where a sharp incused image has been left on the next coin fed into the coining chamber. Most brockages are partial; full brockages are rare and the most desirable form of the error. Report this Post to the Staff

Since the brockage is aligned with the die-struck reverse design, it's likely that the brockage-maker was stuck to the obverse die and was therefore a die cap. I've seen many similar errors. Since it was struck way off-center, its value would be around $35. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
