belg_jos Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Source The term "double brockage" must be thought of by some really bright people, I assume... There is absolutely no way for this to happen in a mint. Do you guys agree? Jos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belg_jos Posted October 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 it is very rare.. but it can happen... but this is not one... It can happen? It would mean that a first coin is struck and kicked out. A next one is struck, and sticks to one of the dies after the strike, making it a capped die. Then a blanc planchet is fed in between the dies + the first coin, that's struck normally, enters the room too, exactly centered, the right side up AND the planchet is between the capped die and the already struck coin... A bit too much coincidence involved there. I would NEVER buy something like that. That is THE ultimate forged error. It's actually insulting how people try to sell this to experienced errorcollectors. Just my opinion... Jos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 that is one possibility... or someone at the mint can make it intentionally... stacking a stuck coin, a blank planchet, and another struck coin in the striking chamber.... weirder things have happened... but this particular coin is a vice job me thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belg_jos Posted October 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Yes, but to me, intentionally made errors, simply aren't errors. It takes away all the fun, if you know it's just impossible to happen unintentionally. Jos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's classed as an error but in reality there is no way it could have been made in error. It was deliberately made in the mint. I still like them though but thats because I like coins which are out of the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 i agree jos... Id never own an intentionally made error myself either... but they do happen and do end up on the market... so someone is buying them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belg_jos Posted October 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Yes, there are some buyers out there, that are simply not so bright... I saw this one on Coinarchives a couple of days ago A simple vice job too. It says alot for the buyers, but what about that auctionhouse that puts it up in the first place? (and the estimate was even 25% higher...) I hope we will live the day that these stupidities are taken care of... Jos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 i think when these people are parted with a large sum of money only later to find out that it is a fake the problem will take care of itself... in theory... but we all know how theories work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belg_jos Posted October 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Luckily, auctionwinners are anonymous, so they can make these mistakes disappear. A hole in the ground will do just fine I wouldn't run around, showing off one of these... Jos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 it simply boils down to a problem I deal with all the time... People not taking the time to do their homework before they buy coins... whether its errors or just regular US and world coins... people should spend $15 on a book before you spend $15 on a coin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
