I have a saved search for Brockages in my ebay & i got a message today for this coin    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1938-Penny-Australia-pre-decimal-partial-brockage-coin-jam-/181016391537?pt=AU_Coins2&hash=item2a256aef71&BackToListReferer=http%3A%2F%2Fmy.ebay.com.au%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FMyEbayBeta#ht_500wt_1288

Besides the fact that it has had a hell of a hard time, ( filed/scraped/gouged ) the supposed Brockage looks like it's just had part of another coin forced/hammered into it,what do you think ?

I can't imagine there'll be anyone silly enough to bid on this :dodgy: piece of garbage.

The major clue that it's not a real error is that the design directly behind the  supposed brockage part is completely flattened from the force of the hammer blow in the garden shed!
The thinking arm is reference to Ian McConnelly and his articles in CAB, I hope he doesn't get any takers based on that comment.
