pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 03/28/2012 12:46 pm A broadstrike is struck without the collar so it affects both sides and as Wquinn points out gives you a larger diameter. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/28/2012 12:49 pm Normal in diameter and the reverse is normal to. Isn't there a thing called an in collar broadstrike? Why is there such a wide gap between the rim and the letters and below the bust? Thanks, John1 Report this Post to the Staff
wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 03/28/2012 1:12 pm I've heard of partial collar and out of collar. Maybe it is a partial collar? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/28/2012 1:48 pm Looks more like a weak strike. The rims are not as strong as a normal struck coin. It looks round like it was in the collar. The devices are there, but not as strong as a regular strike. https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...quiquelo.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...OABLER_1.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...OABLER_2.jpg Edited by coop 03/29/2012 03:38 am Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/29/2012 10:28 am You can have a partial collar strike but you can't have an in collar broadstrike. The definition of a broadstrike is a coin struck without the collar being present. You can't have a coin struck without a collar, in a collar. Report this Post to the Staff
