    Nice example, nice grade.

    It looks like a 20% Brockage to me.

    (you know those PCGS error guys -
    they can't tell percentages apparently!)

    I agree, the percentage is higher than 10% by eye. I have not measured it, though.

    I would think that it is more like 30%. Fred, do you know what parameters are used to determine the percentage? Does the measurement begin from the outer edge or the inner edge of the anomaly? Note: I'm referring to the "channel".

    The reverse is MAD also, so I assume it is off center.

    Ha.. I just noticed.. Maybe it's due to the Brockage strike. Just messed up the positioning of that side of the Cent on both sides.

    Five side-by-side would fit around the rim, ten would go around twice.
