<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2674573, member: 19463&quot;]zumbly posted my page which shows my best brockages BUT I warn that the page shows more examples of clashed dies than it does brockages.&nbsp; The purpose was to illustrate the difference between the two.&nbsp; I guess I need to dig harder and find coins that might be a little different and a little more educational.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>These are unusual brockages showing the incuse of the reverse replacing the portrait.&nbsp; Most are the other way around.&nbsp; That is because it is easier for a coin to get stuck in the top die and not be noticed than it is for one to be resting on the lower die and have the operator not notice it and brush it aside.&nbsp; The brockages of the reverse like this one were most likely made using hinged pincher dies that would be easier to use either side up or in places that put the reverse on the bottom die rather than the usual top.</p><p><img src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSaHiEmccd5lxPBQAYXocGxQiqXInM8ZsqXc_Suv8ebYQNeT50n9g" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>My examples are from the Gallic emperors. </p><p>Comes Avg - Probably Victorianus</p><p>[ATTACH=full]596298[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Spes Avgg - Tetricus</p><p>[ATTACH=full]596300[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
