Dual-sided first-strike brockages

These are always altered coins. Notice the rim damage as well. (And how about this time, don't hijack the post with unrelated photos.)

That means you @ZoidMeister !

 

Nice example. I wish folks would stop hijacking others threads. The cartoons and utube stuff is getting old. Show some respect for others.

 

Thanks for sharing .

 

Hi, I have only been at this hobby just over a year and learning a great deal from the folks here. Can you clarify something for me?
A first strike brockage occurs when a struck coin sticks to the die and subsequently strikes the next planchet in the coining chamber. Do I have this right?
EDIT: But of course there would only be one design, reversed, seen on the next struck planchet. Think I answered my own question. Sorry

 

Interesting coin. Can you give us insight to how they made it? Looks better than just someones vice job.

 

Calling me out? That's like a red cape in front of a bull . . . . .

You should know better.

Exactly what does that mean?

 

1960s are copper with a high relief. Really good coins to use for faked brockages.

 

Did you get your book, Chris?

 

Is it possible that the coin's rim might have been slightly misaligned from the start?
If it was, maybe the artist thought it would make a good canvas with the misaligned rim giving it some legitimacy.

 

Yes, I did. I just haven't set aside the time to read it. Thanks, Joe!
