Indian/Lincoln 1909 Brockage Error or Post Mint Damage?

Hi, I recently came across this coin and have been a little puzzled... Is this a real brockage error, or post mint damage? Thanks in advance for your opinions

Post mint damage. Squeeze job.

 

Damaged.
Also known as a Vise or Sandwiched job
Whenever you see an image incused into the field and reversed, it's purposely made

 

I'm curious on how I would tell the difference between a squeeze job and real brockage... I get confused as to why the "liberty" isn't more smashed in the 2nd photo

 

Poor 1909 lincoln. I assumed it was purposely made... So in the case of brockage it would not be incuse?

 

Interesting find though

Brockages are incused, but it's a totally different occurrence. Not your Cent. Believe me, after 30 years of collecting error coins I can tell the difference.

This is exactly what I needed to read - googling images of brockage with indians on lincolns was to no avail , thank you paddyman98!

 

One thing to keep in mind is that real brockages won't be dated 12 years apart, from two different issues.

 

Thats what I was thinking too, but I got confused because it IS 1909 lincoln (1st year) and well toned (maybe recolored?)

 

Here is a real brokage:

 

A newbie friend of mine was really pumped when he found this recently in a bag of large cents and called me over...

 

In the OP that coin's orange color suggests cleaning.

 

Also it isn't possible to have a full brockage on BOTH sides of the coin.

 

Condor beat me to it.
