1998 Penny Bokage

[Guest Kennyrib]

Could some one please tell me if the coin pictured would recieve a fair amount on e-bay and roughly how much , I found it in change a few years back and am told the it is a brokage where the coin gets stuck in the collar and the next coin is inprinted . Have tried a few sites also told this is rare on desirable.

The fact is, Americans are much more interested in these sorts of things than the British. If you were to put it on eBay, make sure the sale is open to our transatlantic cousins too. It's obviously rare (unique, in fact), but as it's an accident, we in the UK don't get too excited for some reason. (I have a 1964 sixpence where the I in GRATIA is completely missing, but I'm told it's no more than curiosity value).

Hard to tell. They are rare but it is most likely not unique as once a coin has stuck onto the die the subsequent coins will be brockages. This will continue until the coin stuck on the die (capped die error or die cap error)

2005 Penny Die Cap Error

coin falls off or is pulled of by the mint employee. Most cases these capped dies are pulled off and are even rarer as the only way they make it into circulation is if they are kept by the mint employee.

Back to the brockages they are also rare as they need to pass through the system and make it into circulation.

I personally would much rather have your error then one of these dateless 20p, but its all about supply and demand and if you can find two or more bidders that wont it at that time.

Errors are often hard to value as they aren't often seen and they can vary quite a bit from error to error even for the same types. I used to collect British errors but I sold most of them off to focus on world gold coin but I do find errors interesting.

Top coin will go perhaps 50 pounds. It takes some exotica to go more. I have a uniface 1971 10 P full weight that went for about 60 and a 1981 New Pence struck over a 1953 6d in gem that I bought some while ago for about 175, if memory serves but that coin is a bit more "out there".
