I love buying Mis-Labled Major Error Coins

Well the label is kinda correct, but the coin is much, much rarer than a normal "brockage" as the brockage comes from an Off Center dime or possibly a dime fragment.

I find errors interesting, although I do not collect them. The only error I have, at least that

I know of, is a blank planchet that I found in change...Cheers, RickO

This would be an "aligned partial brockage" (named as such due to the fact that the brockage is aligned with the die-struck design on the opposite face). In this case, we're probably a first- or second-strike brockage. Such brockages have three possible origins: 1) An impression of a partial (off-center) die cap, 2) an impression from an elliptical clip dime that settled against the collar, or 3) an impression from an elliptical strike clip dime. Number 1 is most common. You'd need to inspect the edge next to the brockage for information necessary for teasing apart these possibilities.

what does the other side look like? Is it the Reverse of '68?

Just stay away from mis-labeled cleaned coins.

Dave, wow I did not know about the variety, but I do believe this is it ... added value .... my guess yes? You can not come to this website and Not learn anything ...

davewesen

yes it is, the obverse looks like a couple I have (without error) - die erosion, weak/grease date and outer motto

Yes, reverse of '68, not sure if it would add any value though.
