robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 03/10/2014 10:59 pm blackandgold - it is a broadstruck error. It is much closer in size to a nickel than a cent. Report this Post to the Staff

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 03/10/2014 11:07 pm To follow up with robbudo a broad struck is when the pieces of metal that hold the edge in the striking chamber during the strike are not there, in return the pressure pushes the metal outwards making it much wider than regular. Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff
blackandgold Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 03/10/2014 11:49 pm So the wide and uneven rim is a result of the error and not the error itself? Report this Post to the Staff
robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 03/11/2014 07:30 am From the CC dictionary ... "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." The error is that it was struck without a collar. It manifests itself by having a larger diameter than usual.
