XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 05/22/2018 09:59 am As a general rule of thumb, a broadstrike will be larger in diameter than a regular issue coin of that type, this is due to the broken or missing collar on the coin press. With the advent of coin counting machines and mint quality controls, its very rare to find a broadstrike in circulation these days. The sole example I've found in circulation was in a coin machine reject shoot. When most non-collectors see a broadstrike, they think that the coin in question has been damaged somehow rather than it being something more rare and valuable than an ordinary coin.
