smitrobbin New Member United States 34 Posts	Posted 04/06/2013 7:59 pm Thank you, pyrbob. That's kinda what I thought, too. But I had it listed on ebay, and another member, who is obviously much smarter than I am, admonished me and said that it was a Brockage error. What do you think? Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 04/06/2013 9:17 pm This coin was struck by an early-stage, uniface die cap. In other words, the working face of the die cap never had any design on it. The absence of a ghost image of Lincoln demonstrates that the floor of the die cap was close to the original thickness of a cent. The term "brockage" should only be used when incuse, mirror-image design elements can be detected. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff

With all due and sincere respect to the wonderful experts on this site, to say that I am overwhelmed by the fact that THE MIKE DIAMOND responded to a Post of mine, would, indeed, be an understatement! Wait til I tell all my friends!! Report this Post to the Staff
