latman100 Pillar of the Community Australia 1040 Posts	Posted 09/29/2008 10:40 pm More an off centre strike than a broadstrike. This is the definition of broadstrike from the CCF glossary to the left <---- Broadstrike Coin struck without a collar, thus when the coin is struck the metal is allowed to expand and increase in diameter. May be centered or uncentered, but must not have any missing lettering or design detail. Report this Post to the Staff
Yass Pillar of the Community Australia 652 Posts	Posted 09/30/2008 02:18 am No. The coin is not a broadstrike. It is simply slightly off-centre which is very common on all denominations. Edited by Yass 09/30/2008 02:18 am Report this Post to the Staff
thesandpit Valued Member 119 Posts	Posted 09/30/2008 04:20 am Coin is struck within collar and the dies are not really off centre either; however the collar is a little loose, so that some metal has squeezed up between the collar and the die resulting in a doubling of the rim along part of the circumference.

Sap Moderator Australia 17016 Posts	Posted 09/30/2008 07:01 am Correct, a broadstrike has been struck with the collar die completely missing, meaning the rim of a broadstrike is always plain and unreeded; yours clearly has the "usual" interrupted reeding around the edge. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
