Sleaklight Pillar of the Community United States 827 Posts	Posted 12/14/2007 2:44 pm Here's a large indent on a 2000 cent. I think it was also broadstruck. Did I get it right? I really like error coins! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/14/2007 5:10 pm Look like a brokerage Coin. Struck first without the collar and then struck through another Cent that was stuck on the upper die. You can see the enlarged letters from ONE CENT on the obverse enlarged. Interesting coin. I don't know if I explained it right or not. First time I've seen one like this. I would probably have it slabbed. Interesting...... Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 12/14/2007 5:18 pm I beleive that it is called a broadstruck partial brockage aka "mushroom error". Notice the incuse ONE CENT on the indent- that was made by another coin being struck together with this one. Very nice Report this Post to the Staff

Sleaklight Pillar of the Community United States 827 Posts	Posted 12/14/2007 5:56 pm Oh! What's the best way to preserve this? An airtite holder perhaps? I don't want it to "rot" away! Thanks guys for the replies! Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 12/17/2007 12:08 am I would suggest an airtite with a foam ring. You would obviously have to measure the diameter of your error to get the proper size but the foam ring should hold it in place. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 12/17/2007 12:36 am Yes,Yes, Yes! That's better! I was incorrect. I forgot. an Indent involves a blank planchet. This would be a partial brockage broadstrike. Thanks for the reminder:-) Report this Post to the Staff
