Extremely Rare Lincoln Wheat Ear Cent
With Counterbrockage & Clashed Cap Brockage

obvspacerev

indentAlthough the NGC insert describes this mint error as Obverse Struck Thru Capped Die, that is only part of the description for this rare mint error. This is a Counterbrockage and Clashed Cap Brockage.

indentThis planchet was struck by an obverse die cap. The reverse of the die cap was a brockage of the obverse design. This created a counterbrockage on the obverse of this mint error. It also has an incuse brockage from a clashed die cap. The die cap contacted the reverse die and created a brockage in the center of the coin. Therefore, it has both a counterbrockage and an incuse brockage on the obverse!
