thryan9 Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 02/02/2015 10:07 am This looks to me to be another centered broadstrike, 20mm wide. It is interesting how different the obverse is to the reverse. Maybe someone can explain what it is we are looking at and how it happened. I am interested to know what goes wrong with the minting process. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2740 Posts	Posted 02/02/2015 11:29 am It looks like a broadstrike on a blank ("Type I planchet"). The reverse shows some "rim" development (not the actual design rim) due to transient contact with the collar. I see no indication of post-strike damage/alteration. Error coin writer and researcher.
