twodiced13 New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 05/14/2013 4:25 pm Hello I am showing three nickels and one dime I believe to have some form of broad strike damage. I'm just curious to what caused these coins to have a more rounded edge on one side then the other. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 05/14/2013 4:32 pm Hi and First off I think you clicked your post 2 more times than needed. Secondly, would need some closer up pics. of the coins to help identify if broadstruck or off center or a misaligned die possibility. Both obverse and reverse pics. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/14/2013 4:48 pm Broadstruck coins are errors caused by a collar malfunction when the coin is struck, not damage. Your picture is not large enough to see exactly what is going on but none of them appear to be a broadstrike error. A broadstruck error will have a larger than normal diameter and broad edge border such as on this SBA- Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/15/2013 3:24 pm If the reverse is normal, then that coin was struck with misaligned dies(MAD). MAD strikes are common and not usually considered to be collectible unless some of the peripheral devices are missing. Report this Post to the Staff
