An attractive specimen. Standard hobby parlance dictates that we call the impression a "partial brockage" rather than an "indent with partial brockage". The term "indent" is reserved for impressions from unstruck planchets. Sorry, but I don't make the rules. Coop asked about the flange that is best seen on the reverse. This could be the result of a partial collar error, with expansion of coin metal well past the collar beneath the intrusive coin due to the increased effective striking pressure. It could also be the result of a "forced broadstrike", with the same factors governing the formation of the horizontal flange. I don't think it satisfies the requirements of "horizontal lipping", as this requires a coin to be struck fully within the collar. Views of the edge would clarify precisely which kind of error the flange represents (although they're all related).

That's a beauty! Very large broadstrike and a killer brockage to boot. Congrats!

Thanks all!!! And thanks Mike as I always learn more from your posts, and quite interesting to learn more about this coin and how it came to be. As for the edge and flange. I'll add two images of the edge at the flange, but unsure if this is sufficient to figure it out. The edge opposite the flange shows just the slightest offset from likely the collar?, and it gets mildly wider as you come around toward the flange and then peaks right at the flange as in the images. But even at the flange it's not terribly wide.   |

The edge beneath the brockage clearly shows a partial collar error. Therefore, we have major expansion of the horizontal flange due to the increased effective striking pressure generated by the two stacked planchets.

Thanks so much! I'm thinking that this has to go in a slip as an uncentered broadstrike with partial brockage and a partial collar. Might have to write small on the slip for this one.
