However, any portion of missing design= off-center error. Broadstrikes and OCs are both struck without collar containment of the planchet.

Contrary to what has been said off-centers can be struck with the collar in place. Often when that happens the off-center coin also has a bend to it as the planchet gets jammed between the die and the collar. Report this Post to the Staff
mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 02/27/2013 3:02 pm Here is the definition from the CCF Glossary on 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. From this definition the coin could not be a broadstrike. Report this Post to the Staff
