Ex FORVM: "Rare partial brockage. A partial brockage occurs when: 1) one coin jams in the die, 2) a second coin is struck using the first coin as a die, 3) the first coin is removed, and 4) the second coin is re-struck with the die. This is an unusual circumstance of events. Clashed dies are more common. In clashed dies, the dies are struck against each other, creating a weak design of one or each die on the other. This coin is a partial brockage, not the product of clashed dies. The depth of the intaglio image, position in relation to the cameo image, and weakness of the higher points of the cameo image support the attribution to "partial brockage.""mihali84
