thryan9 Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 10/25/2014 12:30 pm I am not well versed in error types, but this cent does not look right. Can someone explain to me what this is and how it happened? Are errors like this one more valuable or less? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/25/2014 3:20 pm Is the weight the same as a normal cent? There is a weakness on the devices that seem odd, and the lines on the reverse don't look correct? Report this Post to the Staff
thryan9 Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 10/25/2014 3:46 pm I have no way of weighing it. Are you wondering if it is real? I have a few of them. Here is another one. Report this Post to the Staff

thryan9 Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 10/25/2014 4:28 pm Thank you for that, now can you tell me what an uncentered broadstrike is? Are they very rare? And is this the same thing? It has some of the same things going on but it is not very uncentered. Report this Post to the Staff
thryan9 Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 10/25/2014 5:14 pm If I have Googled correctly, a broadstrike is a coin struck without a collar, and it can be offcentered. I would guess then that the 3rd example I have posted is a fairly centered broadstrike. I have seven of these, all but one are 1919. So my next question is, how common are these? Or whatever information you would like to add would be much appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff
