<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3665264, member: 19463"]As I understand it, the term derived from 'breakage' originally referring to mint waste most of which was caused by the die sticking as we use the word today. The coin here is rare as heavy bronzes are harder to stick in the die than lighter silver. As FF said, thin hammered pennies were commonly made this way but most were remelted. Does anyone have a brockage English hammered penny?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
