It looks to be a nice Off-Center strike, not MAD.  Can you get full coin shots of each side? In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

That is a Broadstrike, Off-center Broadstrike, meaning no collar was deployed.

Nice. And it has added premium because it is dated 2003. The mint beefed up the QC in 2001 so stuff like this did not get out. John1  |

Thanks for the correction. Had a long day at the end of a 58 hr.work week. This popped out of a roll and I misidentified it off the reverse only despite taking photo of the obverse. I guess I should have saved it for today after 8 hrs.of sleep.

Curious did the second set of full 2003 images (filenames) get cross with your other post including 2007 images? Seems a slight bit of design might be cut off in the original images. Thanks, Doug. http://www.error-ref.com/broadstrikes/Quote:
PART VI. Striking Errors:
Broadstrikes
Definition:A coin that is struck outside the collar. The collar is the retaining ring that establishes the final diameter of the newly-struck coin. A broadstrike will expand beyond the diameter of a normal coin, sometimes drastically so.
A perfectly centered coin that is struck out-of-collar is simply called a "broadstrike". An imperfectly centered coin that is struck out-of-collar is called an "uncentered broadstrike".
In order to qualify as a broadstrike, the full design must be present on both faces. If the design is cut off on either face, it is called an "off-center strike". Edited by Halo1st

Doug:
The two sets of full coin images were in different folders but had the same file name. The up-loader posted the 2003 for the 2007. I renamed the 2007 files to solve the problem.
After reading Crazyb0's post I went to error-ref to check on Broadstrikes and concluded it was an off-centered strike but was too tired to reply.

So, I guess I was correct in the end.  I do have one final question. Is it out of round at all? It doesn't appear to be, but that may help to solve the "without collar" question. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
