Fenian Valued Member Canada 79 Posts	Posted 02/18/2023 11:50 pm Hello. I won this coin at the RCNA auction last year. Coin was sold as Error; 1978 1¢ Flipover Double Struck in collar NGC Choice Mint State-62RB Was going through my SDB and finally noticed the details on the label from NGC. This coin certainly doesn't look like a brockage to me... Image from auction page: What doers everyone else think? A error on the slab? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2781 Posts	Posted 02/18/2023 11:54 pm the lettering should be mirror reverse on one side of a brock? no? does look struck out of collar - more like the die cap of a brockage. Edited by Wade 02/18/2023 11:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
johnnysprawl Pillar of the Community Canada 1620 Posts	Posted 02/19/2023 01:27 am I don't see a brockage, die cap, or flipover strike; just an offset error. Report this Post to the Staff

SP67 Valued Member Canada 234 Posts	Posted 02/19/2023 08:11 am Right, It's an off center strike, not a brockage. NGC is wrong with the description. Weird... Not a complexe error ! Edited by SP67 02/19/2023 08:12 am Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21603 Posts	Posted 02/19/2023 08:15 am It is an Uncentered Broadstrike, not a Reverse Brokage Report this Post to the Staff
SP67 Valued Member Canada 234 Posts	Posted 02/19/2023 09:00 am Quote: It is an Uncentered Broadstrike By definition a Broadstrike (centered or uncentered) must show all element of design. https://www.error-ref.com/broadstrike-uncentered/ Some design sections are missing in the coin presented in this post, so we have to describe it as an "off-center strike".

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 02/19/2023 09:56 am Not a broadstrike- you can see where it was sitting on part of the collar die. Collar die has to be absent for a broadstrike.

Fenian Valued Member Canada 79 Posts	Posted 02/19/2023 11:23 pm Thanks everyone! So double error- NGC certification error and TCNC auction listing error. Wow. Glad I only paid a fair price for an offstruck coin with this one. Knew it wasn't a brockage as I own several and this isn't. Report this Post to the Staff
