Kindly post your unique error coin finds here while roll searching: There are two types of Banks Rolls original Mint UN-circulated OBWs and Circulated Bank Rolls. It is sometimes amazing to see some of the surprises that the Mints produced some very subtle while others just make you wonder how they did that, lol.  Below is one example of a great find that is in for verification and grading.  Look closely at the top left coin, see below:  This is my Frankencoin find of a lifetime while others might swear that it is a product of a vise and hammer. It is called a Brockage Strike with a negative impression of the Lincoln Bust in the Memorial and was struck more than once with a rotation from what I can tell of around 10-degrees or so. Thank you U.S. Mint $$$  All future posters of errors  *** Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. *** |

I moved your thread to the proper section for your Lincoln Cents. Errors should be posted in the proper section for each coin type.

Looks more like a simple strikethrough not a brockage.

I've bought rolls like these on ebay. Most of the time they are loose and not tight, indicating to me that they are not OBW rolls. I bought some 1961-1964 and only one year did I find anything. RPM on one type in the roll. |

Thank you Numisma: Quote:I'm definitely with Conder on this one. I guess we'll see what the TPG says. By the way, out of curiosity, what's the date? Being new I originally posted in wrong tread and thanks for asking I was saving this for discussion, 1962-D fair grade on the obverse.  Struck Through Struck Coin: https://sullivannumismatics.com/inf...-error-coinsA coin which has had another coin struck into it is called a "brockage." There are many variations and specific terms for the different kinds of brockages, but for brevity's sake we will stick with the most basic definition. The below coin is a mirror brockage, which is a full impression of one side of a coin into the opposite side of the coin, giving in effect a "mirror image."  I have had some of these rolls in storage since the 60s and never opened them. Thanks for every ones' input - you learn something new everyday. Edited by FrankenCoin

Yes Coop: Quote:
mirror brockage show the devices mirrored.
Your coin was struck through debris between the dies during the strike. The Bust of Lincoln "Figure" is Mirrored and there was debris too maybe it picked up an Emery Disk too -- who knows. I have been all over Errors-Ref and a few others and it still comes down to a Mirrored Brockage of "some type" and it is the only one I have seen like it. It is just interesting on how these things happened but more importantly is proper terminology to classify the type of error especially for those that do not know where to start like me a week ago, lol. Better than Frankencoin with hammers and vise. I am not the Mint but it sure has been fun figuring this one out against all odds. |

Thanks Coop: Yes those are "perfectly mirrored": Struck Through Struck Coin https://sullivannumismatics.com/inf...-error-coinsMine still came out as the roll as pictured and has the original patina "toning" on it unaltered as pictured above with no impact dents, scratches, etc. on the Obverse - I am clueless and I can only wait for the TPG and what they will conclude at this time. No hammers and vises here.  Edited by FrankenCoin

Yours is struck through debris, not a brockage.

Thank you SilverDollar:
The way I visualize it on this coin it was retained somewhere for some odd reason and then struck through debris mirrored "Negative" for some real odd reason.
It should still be considered a struck through brockage mirrored coin. It has been fun trying to figure this one out.

I'll vote as struck-through as opposed to brockage. Please let us know what the TPG classifies this at. Either way, it's a nice error. On a side note-Thanks for all the photos Coop! |
