Extremely Rare Indian Head Cent With Counterbrockage & Clashed Cap Brockage
This is a Counterbrockage and Clashed Cap Brockage on an Indian Head Cent which is an extremely rare multiple mint error.
This planchet was struck by an obverse die cap. The reverse of the die cap was a brockage of the reverse design. This created a counterbrockage on the obverse of this mint error. It also has an incuse brockage from a clashed die cap. The die cap contacted the reverse die and created a brockage in the center of the coin. Therefore, it has both a counterbrockage and an incuse brockage on the obverse!
Although circulated, this is an extremely rare Indian Head Cent mint error.
