I'm really enjoying the images I'm getting from my digital microscope. I have it connected to my PC with a USB cable, so I don't even have to switch the memory card in and out. It just shows the card in the microscope as a removable drive. I can transfer the images with simple drag and paste commands. No pictures of the screen images for me!  This coin shows the largest area of overlap with the fewest possible design elements from the second strike. The obverse of the second strike shows only the last letter of TRUST and the last digit of the date. It also has an interesting area of ring type marks where the die looks to have been pushed sideways by the force of the strike. I also like the WIDE and TALL A M on the reverse.  Okay, I need some help here. I always get the term 'Brockage' and 'Counter Brockage' mixed up in my head. Is the flattened and extended area on the reverse showing a Counter Brockage of the original strike elements on the reverse or is it something else? Am I completely confused here?    *** Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. *** ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T!

Neat error and nice photos. I think this would be a double strike with the second strike off-center and uniface reverse. No brockage here.

My question has to do with the distorted section. Does the effect of the stretched letters from the original strike have a numismatic name or term? I'm just confused with the eight different types of Brockage/Counter Brockage or if what's seen here even has anything to do with these terms.

A brockage is a design transfer from a coin (or Grease Fill) to a planchet. While that area does look like a brockage, the stretched design was already there with the initial strike imparted from the die itself. So it's a uniface strike over a previously struck coin. Brockages are incuse and mirrored and counterbrockages or normally oriented design. |

Thanks to everyone for the replies and comments. An extra thank you to CoinHI and tropicalbats for helping me understand the Brockage issue. I'm still learning from the experts here on CCF and owe so many members here so much for all of the help given over the last 14 years! Someday in the not-too-distant future, I will have forgotten more about errors than I currently know, and I'll have everyone at CCF to thank for it!
