coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/28/2013 10:15 am Nice find John. To bad it is a Zincoln. It would be a great coin on a copper planchet. All the problems are with the split plating which was caused by the broadstrike. It's a keeper, but probably not much of a premium. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/28/2013 12:57 pm Broadstruck is the term used to designate that it was struck outside of the collar. The collar must have not been present while you coin was struck. So you coin is a broadstruck off centered.

To be considered a broadstrike error, a coin must have all design remaining in addition to being struck out-of-collar. If all of the design was present, this would be considered an uncentered broadstrike (but still not an off-center error). Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/29/2013 2:22 pm Looking into this a little more, error coins is correct. Now I have to do a mental update and edit some images. So off center is the correct term. See, even I need updating. Images now edited. Thanks for the update. If the old image comes up on your page, press F5 to update it.
