DEVLEC... your conclusion fails, when the collar is disengaged. That is the whole definition of a broadstruck coin, when there is no collar die. See this one (which I would love to have):  And, see this one, which is in my collection: http://www.PCGS.com/cert/29316763"Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.

I've seen some interesting arguments posted here, but I'm still with the PMD crowd. |

I am still heavily in the Post Mint Damage corner, almost 100% sure. In my opinion, the coin in question doesn't look like SPP's examples. SPP's examples are clearly errors.

It's pretty well circulated for such a spectacular error. If legit, you would think it would have been pulled out of circulation sooner. This says it all for me. |

The edge could easily be spooned to give it a die cap appearance.
Lets keep in mind that this is a different metal composition from the original posted image therefore a slightly different look.
Take a close look.

Well, that answers my question. I never would have thought there would be enough metal at the rim to make the "flange" part so wide. What does it look like in an edge view?

I would like to see the coin in hand - before giving "my final answer Regis"....

With the coin in hand, it is absolutely a man-made error, thanks to the op for sending it to me, and thanks to Darryl for sending me some more home made goodies - I picked up the envelope today, and I cannot wait to open it!!
