ReplyDeleteHi Dickson,
ReplyDeleteIts a pity the date cannot be seen in an otherwise very desirable brockage on a classical coin.
Is there equal chance of either side of the coin not clearly struck when a brockage error occurs?
Congratulations and thanks a lot again Dickson :)
Hi whycollect,
ReplyDeleteYa lah, if struck with date, wah-lau-a !
triple the price lol!
Come to mint errors,anything can happen!
Hi Dickson,
ReplyDeleteI am rather puzzled by your definition of a full brockage strike here which says that 2 planchet enter the coining press AT THE SAME TIME would develop a full brockage. If 2 planchet enter at the same time, the 2 planchets would rest on each other in the coining chamber resulting in 1 coin with a sharply struck obverse but no reverse and a 2nd coin with a sharply struck reverse but no obverse. A UNIFACE strike can actually happen in this case.
For a brockage to happen, another planchet actually enters into the coining chamber with an already struck coin but not properly ejected out. This would result in 1 coin with a depressed and slightly enlarged incused mirror image of the struck coin on 1 side and a strong strike on the opposite side and a second coin with a double strike on 1 side and a flattened , enlarged relief design on the the opposite side. This is also the definition of brockage strike.
On the fact that you can't see the date on this subject coin, it is apparent that this may not be a brockage strike but a uniface strike.
What do you think?
Thanks.
