Very nice find! Almost off center but would have to be missing part of the design on either face

Awesome find!!  I agree with the assesment of broadstruck out of collar with indent. |

I don't believe this is a broadstrike, it is an off center strike. Here is a similar example of an ANACS certified 5% off center with indent for comparison.  Here is a Broadstrike with indent  Edited by cwb

Not sure, you might be right claude, but I'm not sure if the collar die was present. Maybe a rim photo could clear that up?

I found this information on Mike Diamonds site. If might help us a bit more on terms. http://www.error-ref.com/?s=broadstrikesI didn't realize there was a difference in terms between broadstrikes and broadstruck. (learn something new every day) |

I think it's the way it is explained on Error-Ref that makes it sound confusing. The more off center a strike is, the more of the design that will possibly be missing. If it is simply a broadstike, then the dies hit the coin, but it was out of collar and shows some spread. If it is off centered and out of collar, it will most likely still show all of the coins details because of the spread from being struck out of collar. Maybe the way I am explaining it is even more confusing, it almost confuses me after reading that page. Quote:
(learn something new every day) I am constantly learning. I guess I didn't know there was a difference between broadstrike and broadstruck. I don't think there is. EDIT: If any of the design is missing, it's simply an off center coin. If the entire design is present, but it's struck off center, then it's called broadstruck/broadstrike off center. Edited by cwb

I dont know of any difference between the 2 terms either-but back to the 2000 anacs we cant tell if the design is cut off at top which a little bit probably is so they labeled off center no design is missing from the op's coin on either side? But your out of collar spread makes sense claude I just dont know it would be labeled off center with no design elements cut off?

On the reverse side of the original poster's coin, you can see where the EN of CENT is partially missing along the bottom edge. The area of field that should be present between the rim and CENT is also missing.

I know this is off-topic but I just checked out Mike Diamond's site and found that my die error coin is listed there as an MD-7 (Localized removal of field from proof polishing, under the die damage heading), and it is the only such error listed. Way cool! FYI, Mr. Diamond just refers to a proof coin, it is actually a silver proof. http://www.error-ref.com/2011-02-14/Edited by clairhardesty

I probably couldn't have picked a worse example to show. This is the reverse side of that ANACS 2000 coin off center indent.  |
