darge Valued Member Australia 236 Posts	Posted 12/10/2012 8:12 pm Just sorted about 100 pennies 1938 to 1947 and discovered 10 with brokage, seems awfully high to me. Particularly for 1941 with 4 Melb, 2 x K.G and 1 x Y. The others were 1 x 42 and 2 x 44. Won't be easy to get pics but I could try. Any one have any knowledge or opinions? Thanks darge.

enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 12/10/2012 8:43 pm I would say that what you ahve found is unlikely to be brockage. I reckon you have die clash or probably more likely ghosting which is very common in early KGVI pennies. Can you post pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
darge Valued Member Australia 236 Posts	Posted 12/10/2012 9:14 pm I wil try to get some pictures. I am not experienced at all so I'm only guessing when I call it brokage. The image is reversed - is that any help? Ghosting is a fairly good description of these ... perhaps. Report this Post to the Staff
enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 12/10/2012 9:31 pm You can see a faint outline of KGVI, flipped over on ther reverse? Sounds like ghosting. Like I said its very common on early KGVI copper. If you dont have any then keep a couple. Theyre certainly not worth the big bucks like full brockages would be :( Report this Post to the Staff
