And they said there is no such thing..

Calling Bubble Buster or Mr. Weinberg. Two tailed cent. it's a capped Brockage. You folks might have to name it correctly I have been slapped around for "slang names" and rightfully so. What ya think about this one? The back has red.

Looks like a brockage with the mirror image, mushy impression.

 

Looks about right to me.
At first the rim on the error side made me suspicious but looks alright

I'm no Mr. Weinberg, though.

 

A very nice, obvious type of error coin. I think it may qualify as an Early Strike Brockage or similar attribution.

 

thanks folks. many of my coins I had "put back" until I had time to pull them out of mothballs. Some I have not seen in over 10 years even though they was with-in three feet of me most times.

 

With everything being backwards wouldn't that lend itself to a vice job?

 

no it was stuck to the cent that preceded it to the press causing the imprint of the other coin and making the "good side" of the error coin so perfect and clean

 

Gotcha

 

a vice would dull the clean cut coin no matter how much you padded it

 

Why is it reversed? ONE CENT under the memorial is completely backwards.

 

the other "good cent" was trapped in the press with mine and the press pushed the reverse image into my coin (try that with a soft piece of clay and look at the reverse image) look at the deep bowl of the area that's reversed then look at the perfect non marred reverse of mine you can picture that other coin being there and pushed into my coin.

 

I’m having a hard time with that one so I should head to bed and think about it tomorrow.

 

if it WASN'T reversed I'd yell FAKEEEEEEEEE. or if the crispy clean reverse was flattened in anyway I'd also yell FAKEEEEE. but looking at both. it tells it's own story. I am sure Paddy or Mr. Weinberg can explain it better.

Mid And Late Stage Brockages
PART VI. Striking Errors:
Brockages:
Mid-stage and Late-stage Brockages

Definition: The raised design on the working face of a die cap that has been striking brockages becomes progressively more expanded and distorted. As a result, the brockages that it leaves on the planchets fed in beneath it become progressively more expanded. A brockage that shows a moderate degree of expansion is called a mid-stage brockage. A brockage that shows massive expansion is called a late-stage brockage.

so in your opinion it is a cap brockage (textbook)?

 

thank you man with the cool hat

 

It's a nice example of a brockage strike.
