India
(Br.) - 1/2 anna
1862-76 type (KM-468) and is ~30.5
mm - Brockage
|
Incuse brockage.
A
brockage is a Mint error, an early capped die impression where a sharp
incused image has been left on the next coin fed into the coining
chamber. Most brockages are partial; full brockages are rare and the
most desirable form of the error.
Take a look at Bill Snyder's Mis-Struck Coins of British India website.
Yugoslavia
- 10 Dinara 1978 - Doubling
|
Doubling.
A
die that has been struck more than once by a hub in misaligned
positions, resulting in doubling of design elements. Before the
introduction of hubbing, the individual elements of a coin's design
were either engraved or punched into the die, so any doubling was
limited to a specific element. With hubbed dies, multiple impressions
are needed from the hub to make a single die with adequate detail. When
shifting occurs in the alignment between the hub and the die, the die
ends up with some of its features doubled – then imparts this doubling
to every coin it strikes. The coins struck from such dies are called
doubled-die errors.

| Brazil - 10
centavos 1994, date struck thru backwards on reverse - Die Clash |
Die Clash.
Backwards imprint barely seen in
diagonal lines. Also found on a 1995
10c.
The images of the dies seen on coins
struck from clashed dies (dies
that have been damaged by striking each other without a planchet
between them).
The obverse will have images from the reverse and vice versa.
Argentina - 5 centavos 1943, Debris
on die (cud)?
|
Die cud.
An
area of a coin struck by a die that has a complete break across part of
its surface. A cud may be either a retained cud, where the faulty piece
of the die is still in place, or a full cud, where the piece of the die
has fallen away. Retained cuds usually have dentil detail if on the
edge, while full cuds do not.
