Really interesting set of brockages, Baltas. Minting errors seem like a fascinating collecting area. I appreciate when ancients fans focus parts of their collections on oddities like mules, fourees, contemporary counterfeits, and such. Brockages seem like a great, but challenging area.

Yes Bob! Minting errors is a spice of the coin collecting.

Martin: I like that Septimus!

Echizento: They are brockages. I attach two normal.

Here are a couple of late Roman:

Constantius II (a different look):
1.35g 15x17mm

Ancient-And-Medieval-Brockage-Coins



Honorius
1.84g 14x16mm

Ancient-And-Medieval-Brockage-Coins


Striking errors are entertaining and fun to puzzle out, as in, "how did THAT happen?"

So as not to hijack this thread I will start another for another type of striking error.
