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. <img src="http://www.error-ref.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/52792694.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.error-ref.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/52792706.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> This undated Liberty Head (Indian Head) cent shows a mid-stage brockage of the reverse design on its obverse face.
