Whoa.... nice... a 'football clip' (elliptical planchet)... it also looks like the obverse was struck, then struck again on a planchet (did not eject?)...
Very cool, and I am already jealous! Thanks for sharing!

Is this authenticated by a TPG? I'm curious to see what they labeled this error. It's a large clip, compared to most others.This is one of my favorite error types, and I've never even owned one! |

I'm still learning and am trying to understand the terms you guys use. It is still foreign talk to me... I need to learn about coin striking processes
to fully appreciate what I have. As well to help me in the future.

I am only giving my best guess and hope Mike Diamond or Mikey Mar or JFK will give their opinion. A counter-brockage gives a image in the proper way where a coin which has been struck by a brockage coin now becomes the die for your coin. I don't think it was Struck Through Grease or something, but that may be another option. |

On a lot of these struck fragments , there is a counterbrockage . Think of this in how this fragment came to be . An unstruck planchet overlapping a partial brockage struck cent . The force of the next strike shears off the part that is overlapped and causes the fragment along with the counterbrockage .

The image isn't reversed because the previous partial brockage was caused by an off center . Here is an example - picture an unstruck planchet sitting partially on this one and you get the fragment shown .  |

I like that explanation - it also explains the "rounded effect" we see on the inside edge of Coin Chick's example....
