nickelsguy Pillar of the Community Canada 2301 Posts	Posted 03/09/2014 5:05 pm I am playing with a few more today, thought I would share. Coins like this are harder to acquire than mirror brockages themselves. Love this one. Report this Post to the Staff

Xanonite Valued Member Canada 218 Posts	Posted 03/09/2014 7:53 pm It looks like a dime was struck on top of the nickel. PMD? Cool to look at, but it's something done with a vise or heavy pressure isn't it? Report this Post to the Staff

Zimmy Valued Member United States 460 Posts	Posted 03/09/2014 9:01 pm An unstruck fragment or planchet was originally adhered to the reverse die when it picked up the obverse design when struck into the obverse die. While still adhered to the reverse die, it struck your coin, transferring the image from the fragment into your planchet. Hence your coin was struck by a struck fragment or off center nickel.

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 03/10/2014 1:33 pm This is an aligned partial brockage most likely generated by a partial (off-center) hammer die cap. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
