<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pickin and Grinin, post: 26692574, member: 73995&quot;]A brockage is technically a die cap, a coin that was previously struck stuck to the die face. Now the die face that is in this case supposed to be the obverse, has a coin stuck to it. The coin that is stuck acts like a new die face and strikes more coins until it gets thinned out or falls off.&nbsp; The OP&#039;s coin shows that the coin that became stuck only partially covered the die face.</p><p>Below is from&nbsp; Error Reference.</p><p><a href="https://www.error-ref.com/page/2/?s=Brockage" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.error-ref.com/page/2/?s=Brockage" rel="nofollow">https://www.error-ref.com/page/2/?s=Brockage</a></p><p><font size="5"><b><a href="https://www.error-ref.com/brockage-partial/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.error-ref.com/brockage-partial/" rel="nofollow">Brockage: Partial</a></b></font></p><p><font size="6"><b>PART VI.
