Thanks for you opinion Michael. I'll take all the opinions I can get. I and others have been researching this for a couple of months now. Here are some things from sites that have to do with Brockage errors:
brockage refers to a type of error coin in which a side of the coin has both the normal image and a mirror image of the opposite side impressed on it. This is caused by an already minted coin sticking to a die and impressing onto another coin.
Much has been written about how Brockages happen. Suffice it to say that a Brockage will have the same picture and wording on both sides, but on one of those sides, everything is backwards. Also, everything is 'set in' to the coin surface, instead of raised).
So according to this the areas will be slightly hollowed. There is also a Brockage known as a Partial Brockage.
Thanks for your opinion.
