Interesting Brockage

306, Lot: 252. Estimate $150. Sold for $2100. This amount does not include the buyer’s fee.

CARIA, Stratonicaea. Septimius Severus, with Geta. AD 193-211. Æ (36mm, 20.24 g). Brockage strike. Struck AD 209–211. Confronted busts of Septimius right and [Geta] left, each laureate and cuirassed, with gorgoneion on breastplate; c/m: laureate and draped bust right within oval incuse / Incuse of obverse (but both busts visible). For c/m: Howgego 84. Near VF, brown surfaces.

A very interesting brockage strike. The obverse image of Geta was removed as part of the official damnatio, but the incuse image managed to escape the same fate!
