Those are off-centre strikes, with the partial collar Papeldog... you can see the lip of the collar causing the coin to have a ballcap effect...
I was specifically looking for off-centred broadstruck coins. They are really common in the 1960s with Canadian 10-cent silver coins (the lack of reeding makes them easy to identify), but they are rarely seen over 1965 for some reason...

Heres a 1967 penny off center, perhaps a broadside also? It looks pretty flat and doesn't seem to have the ball cap effect  Pictures aren't the best but it's all I have right now. Edited by Tlutz

Certainly looks like it!! That is the first 1967 broadstrike I have seen...

I must be missing something; this is the definition I always used for broadstrikes: "In order to qualify as a broadstrike, the full design must be present on both faces. If the design is cut off on either face, it is called an "off-center strike"." http://www.error-ref.com/broadstrikes/Help? I understand what you're saying about the rim, is the error-ref definition incomplete? |

Off-centre strikes can occur, with and without, the collar die actively engaged.
Broadstruck coins occur with the collar die disengaged.
What I was specifically referring to, was the combination of both.

Love that 1975... a centred broadstrike, and those reverse denticles are loooong!

I think that loon is post-mint damage. The 12-sided shape comes from the collar die - coins that are off-centre, have one side that does not contact the collar die. It reminds me of the "errors" and "die caps" that darryldarryl made wth a hydraulic press...

spp ottawa this is not my coin. I found this picture. while I was looking for information on the 1994 coins. I wanted to know how a coin could be pressed like that. I am sorry I should have listed this as not my coin. I just wanted to understand how it had been made. I knew the members here would know thank you

Try a search on some of darryldarryl's homemade errors using the CCF search engines, which he created and posted photos for educational purposes...
