Bartness New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 04/05/2013 10:39 pm I was wondering if this coin could be a DD? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 04/05/2013 10:44 pm looks like a broadstrike to me. How does the reverse look? Report this Post to the Staff
Bartness New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 04/05/2013 11:24 pm The reverse is as it should be. Do you think being a Broad strike would make it collectible or worth anything? Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 04/05/2013 11:37 pm There are some people that collect errors of any type, so it is collectible. Since none of the design is missing, it would not have a high value (maybe less than $5). Hopefully, someone will be along with a better understanding of its value. Report this Post to the Staff

copper nickel daddy Pillar of the Community United States 2224 Posts	Posted 04/06/2013 01:27 am If the reverse is normal and not off center, this is an example of a Misaligned Die strike (MAD). The "hammer" (obverse) die was not calibrated correctly to strike the coin while in the collar which is why the coin is off only on the obverse. If the coin was not seated in the collar both sides would have been off-center. If a MAD is off by more than 5% it has some nominal value. Yours would fit that category, in my opinion. Nice coin!

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/06/2013 01:29 am If the reverse is normal, then it wouldn't be a broadstruck. It would be a MAD coin. But what does the edge of the coin look like? It might be something else? Edited by coop 04/06/2013 01:30 am Report this Post to the Staff
Bartness New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 04/06/2013 4:28 pm I don't see anything different on the side then on a normal Penny. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/06/2013 5:49 pm I wondered if it might be a partial collar on the outside rim. I would hold on to it. Report this Post to the Staff
Bartness New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 04/06/2013 6:29 pm Could you pls explain more to me what a Partial collar is? Report this Post to the Staff
