epikur Pillar of the Community Sweden 729 Posts	Posted 03/06/2016 5:30 pm I was watching an auction today where this full brockage error coins was up for sale. thing is; the size of the brockage doesn't match up. the "10"s and öre isn't the same size. So how in the world can this occur at the mint? I ended up not buying the coin, but still seems like a very odd thing.. Report this Post to the Staff

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 03/06/2016 5:40 pm the die cap that caused this was a later state where the design had gotten larger from striking coins. this happened because the metal was softer than the die. a little while longer and there would be no design at all...and then it would get so thin that you would start seeing design from the die showing through again. it is a legit error and probably harder to fake than a regular brockage.

colonialjohn Pillar of the Community United States 1757 Posts	Posted 03/07/2016 12:32 pm ... also this ... as described above ... You should have bought it ... LOL. Mid And Late Stage Brockages PART VI. Striking Errors: Brockages: Mid-stage and Late-stage Brockages Definition: The raised design on the working face of a die cap that has been striking brockages becomes progressively more expanded and distorted. As a result, the brockages that it leaves on the planchets fed in beneath it become progressively more expanded. A brockage that shows a moderate degree of expansion is called a mid-stage brockage. A brockage that shows massive expansion is called a late-stage brockage. JPL Report this Post to the Staff
epikur Pillar of the Community Sweden 729 Posts	Posted 03/07/2016 1:43 pm well, the coin, together with two other off center strikes, went for $120. So wouldn't want to bid on it not knowing more about it. An estimated value of this sort of error? Report this Post to the Staff

epikur Pillar of the Community Sweden 729 Posts	Posted 06/08/2016 09:00 am Regarding full mirror brockages from Denmark, I bid and won another full brockage a few months ago. A neat little 1910 10 öre coin that I got graded at PCGS. I personally think it's undergraded. I don't have it in hand yet, still over seas. I like it, but it doesn't have the mid- or late stage brockage like the original post does though. http://www.PCGS.com/cert/81073708 Report this Post to the Staff
