<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3255090, member: 19463"]Yes. Clashed dies tend to be faint shadows of the obverse mostly hidden by the normal reverse. Brockages will show no sign of the intended reverse because that die was filled with the coin stuck in it. There are specialists who like brockages but many collectors think of them as defective because you don't get to see the reverse. I am a bit surprised that they don't sell for more in keeping with their scarcity. I can not recall ever hearing of anyone attempting to assemble a set of brockages. There are more of some periods than others but I do not know if, for example, it would be possible to get a 12 Caesars in brockage set. </p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/brock.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/brock.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/brock.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
