Ok. I posted this in another forum and never get any answers there lately on anything.  SO... My question is, Is this a Partial Brockage and Broadstruck or just a Partial Brockage. Also, if so, how is the image, in the indent, part of the obverse? I thought it was suppose to be the Reverse? Is this more of a premium? Either way, I really like it   |

Not sure what to tell you but you sure have an interesting coin ... I know if you come across a Canadian coin like this there are many people who will pay pretty good bucks to get them..There is actually a group that collects only this type of error coins...

The indent(brockage) was caused by the obverse of another coin. The first planchet entered the striking chamber and was struck, either broadstruck or struck in the collar(largely irrelevant since you do not have that coin). Then a second planchet entered the striking chamber when the collar was not engaged. The first coin managed to flip over and not be ejected, landing between the obverse die and the second planchet on the left side. The design of the first coin created the brockage on the second coin and the first coin would be a 1 1/2 headed coin since the rest of the 2nd obverse is on it.

This is a flipover partial brockage/broadstrike. The coin that created the brockage flipped over before it entered the striking chamber.

Don't count on that. The variety collector who would want the WAM would most likely want a good specimen not the brockage broadstrike one so they propable would not want to pay regular price let alone a premium. An error collector would like to have the brockage/broadstrike an would not be that impressed by it being a WAM and would not want to pay a premium because of it. The usual problem of a white elephant. Rare dates are desirable, errors are desirable, but in general errors on rare dates are NOT desirable. |
