New Zealand 1965 Sixpence "Broken Wing" error? [решено]

I have a 1965 Sixpence with some damage/error on the reverse on the wing.  I was going to swap this coin because it's a double and I thought this was just some strange damage.




I searched for error coins and one listed is a "Broken Wing".  Does anyone know if this is that error?  If so is this a common error?  I think this coin is AU/MS.

Thanks,
Ryan

If it wan't AU/MS, I'd probably just put it down to wear, but nothing else on the coin is worn.

What does it look like in-hand? Is the missing detail raised or lowered compared to the undamaged coins?
(Basically, does it look like extra metal, or less metal?)

There might have been a bit of a "ding" in the blank? So when stamped, it didn't fill the die?

Although saying that, the Queen's cheek looks a little odd, or it might be the lighting.
The wing "damage" is directly opposite the cheek isn't it?
(Not sure where I'm going here, just trying to rule out any post mint damage)

Thanks for the reply Bizzo.  Looking at it it seems like the detail on the wing has been filled in by an extra glob of metal.  Here is what a normal example looks like.



Compared to my other coins the cheek doesn't look abnormal to me.

Thanks,

If it's extra metal, then it could be a broken die?

Looks like a possible interior die break.

There's some amazing looking die breaks on this site.

With a broken die would you expect the area to be so smooth?  It's strange because it almost looks like the left of the wing has extra metal and the right has less.  Perhaps the same amount of net metal, but re-positioned. Could some fluid be trapped in the die? oil?

 Hi  Ryan yes this is a listed flaw with the 1965 6d-estimated about 200,000 and valued in 2014 as $15.00 EF  $40.00  AU and $100.00 unc  ($nz dollars)- i would say yours is somewhere in the middle AU- UNC-will scan details later for you   Murray

  Here we go Ryan - nice coin  just as well you did not swap  Murray

Yes it looks like it.  Here's an example that is for sale that you can compare yours to.
