I agree. It looks good. What do you see that makes you question it's suthenticity? By the way, great pics.

It's a genuine in-collar partial brockage. It also shows horizontal lipping, where coin metal squeezed over the top of the collar and beneath the intrusive coin.

Thank you all for your inputs. pyrbob: Like I've posted, "My main concern is in the "AMERICA" part of the broakage, which seemed too large for the font size. It's about the size of the word "ONE CENT" of the standard reverse Cent." The words of endorsement from coppercoins and Mikediamond have eased my concern (probably worth more than a TPG slab/label). My follow up question to coppercoin and Mikediamond is: What's the rarity of this type of "in-collar partial brockage", compare to other full/partial brockage? Lastly where's good site for me to research/reference more on these mint error? Thank you. ErrorCoins222: Thanks, I really like the error and it wasn't cheap.... I don't know how to evaluate/put a value to it since there are no such thing as "price guide". Error coins are unique, each to their own. |

Here is a similar coin that also ended recently. And don't worry about the lettering. Usually with these types of errors there is always some sort of distortion, especially when these interfering pieces are struck more than once. http://www.ebay.com/itm/37055334356....m1423.l2649 |

Thanks, ErrorCoins222.
That's good money but considering that PCGS charging around $55 just to grade any kind of Mint Error coins.
Mine is nowhere close to MS64RB though.
Anyhow, it's still good since I haven't seen much of this error type; that may change if the supply increase.

In-collar partial brockages constitute a significant subset of partial brockages among copper-alloy cents. However, they're quite rare among copper-plated zinc cents. I don't why the frequency of this type of error declined markedly when the composition was switched.

Maybe because of better Q.C., machinery and the different
punch methods now being used etc. lead to the rarity
of these type errors on the zincoln. Planchet composition
may be in the mix also.
