Do you think the brockage is caused by a off center error coin, or a oc broadstruck error coin, or?

    Could it be struck through a coin struck through a die cap?

    I was going to guess some involvement of a die cap, but it wasn't one of the options. I was wondering if it was a trick question. ;)

    I am going to say the coin that caused the indent was struck off center. If it was a centered broadstrike, I would expect the ER and OF to be the same distance from the edge of the indent. If it was an uncentered broadstrike, I would not expect there to be so much distance between the OF and the edge of the indent.

    I agree with Seanq on his reasoning - it appears to be an off center coin that caused the brockage.

    However, EoC could be leading us astray with his question mark (?)

    Fred do you normally label the error as a brockage or as a brockage by an off-center error.

    Now this may be a leading question :):D;)>:)

    I usually don't note that it's an off center coin that
    caused the brockage, as that is secondary to the
    brockage itself, given my limitations of space on the
    tag.

    I have done so at times, however. If you're sending
    it to PCGS, and you want it to say 'by O/C coin', write
    it on the submission flip itself, and I'll try to work it
    in.

    Thank you for your response.

    I bought it this way in PCGS plastic.
