If I had the money for it, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

The scan is not detailed enough to see what is going on.
I am unfamiliar with a Brockage error.
Can someone explain this error to me?
Thanks.

More than one coin is involved in the creation of a brockage error. The coin that is struck and fails to be ejected from coining chamber finds itself between the dies again usually adhered to the hammer die or upper die. It then can become involved after the dies strike again with another blank coming in from the feeder. The first struck coin, the one stuck to the die will strike a blank coin coming in and impress the reverse of that coin to the obverse of the blank. This makes a full reverse on the 2nd coin and a "impressed reverse" of the stuck coin on the hammer die on the obverse of the 2nd coin.

It can also happen that the coin sticks to the reverse dies and you get a coin with two obverse strikes, one side as struck and the other impressed by the obverse of the stuck coin. It will be like a mirror image in both cases.

Its easy!!

"I see," said the blind man as he stepped on the hammer and saw.
