<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1473768, member: 66&quot;]I would be curious about the weight of the piece.&nbsp; When I first saw it I thought either brockage or squeeze job on a cent that had the back planed off.&nbsp; The reason for the second possibility was because the brockage is only the central device and a few letters close to it.&nbsp; A full centered brockage like this struck in the coinage press tends to impart the entire reversed design.&nbsp; The lower pressure of a squeeze job would only do the central images.&nbsp; But a squeeze job would leave the reverse of the original coin visible.&nbsp; One way to get around that would be to plane off the reverse before the squeeze.&nbsp; So I ask the weight.</p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting, hadn&#039;t considered the possibility of a thin planchet brockage maker.&nbsp; That mght give you just the central image but I would think only if it was thin enough that it only received a weak image when it was struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rascal the raised appearance is an optical illusion.&nbsp; Yes a counterbrockage would be raised, but it would not be reversed.&nbsp; (This was written before I saw the new images that clearly show it to be incuse.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
