EARLY CENTS AUCTIONS

BROCKAGE MAKER 1817 N-4

LOT 83 1817 N-4 R3+ G6. Glossy light olive and chocolate brown. Smooth but unevenly struck a bit off center to K-3. MDS. The reverse displays the swelling characteristic of a brockage maker that was struck at least twice, once normally and at least one more time with the reverse against a new blank planchet. Interestingly 1817 N-4 is one of the most commonly seen varieties with a reverse brockage error. Your cataloger has seen at least a dozen, and for every brockage there is a “brockage maker.”
