The only brockage in my collection (I don't actively look for them). Faustina Jr. AD 147-175 Uncertain provincial mint. 7.93 gm; 23.9 mm Obv: ΦΑVCΤΕΙΝΑ CΕΒΑCΤΗ, bare-headed and draped bust, r. Rev: Brockage of obverse. Unfortunately, it is darkly patinated and has rough surfaces, so it was a bear to photograph. Post your brockages!
Nice Faustina Jr! Brockages are kinda fun coins to have. I believe this is my only Brockage also... I liked that 'ROMA' is reversed also... kinda cool as a 'Retrograde' Roman Republic AR Denarius ERROR BROCKAGE 2nd-1st C BCE ROMA Helmeted Head Incuse and reverse of obverse
I have few always thinking I was paying for two sides but only getting one. My first was a Republican. I could not pass up an Emesa mint Septimius Severus when it appeared. My bronze of Claudius is a barbarous/branch mint so may not be as shocking as a Rome bronze would be but heavy bronzes are much less often seen as brockages because the heavy coins would be less likely to stick in the die and cause the next coin to be a brockage.
L · PLAV[TIV]S below, head of Medusa facing Classical Numismatic Group, e-auction 59, February 2003, lot 131. I didn't get it from the CNG auction in 2003. This coin reappeared this year in a different auction along with a lot of ancient brockages and described as "WJP Brockage Collection." This collection was 18 lots and five group lots of blockages.
