Mint Error News Price Guide
This price guide is brought to you by Mint Error News. It has been compiled by
many of the top major mint error dealers.
This price guide is a guide. Prices fluctuate due to the date, grade, eye appeal and how
dramatic the striking error is. Rarity is also a factor. The price is sometimes based on
the rarity and grade of the type of coin as well as how rare the error is. The price can
also vary depending on whether two collectors are bidding for the same rare major
mint error. When purchasing a mint error, it is important to use multiple resources to
determine value, as there are many mint errors that do not fit into one category.
Brockages
A
brockage error can only occur when there
are two coins involved. One of the coins
involved will always be a struck coin which has
not ejected properly. That struck coin will find
its way back between the dies and will be struck
next to a blank planchet which was fed into the
collar. The image of that first struck coin will be
impressed into that side of the blank planchet.
The result will be a second coin which has images
of the first coin impressed into it. Those images
will be pressed into the coin and the image
will be in reverse. This incuse sunken image is
known as a brockage.
