KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 08/16/2008 12:22 am Nice find by your son! I'm not an expert either, but how does the diameter compare to a regular dime? If it's larger, could it be broadstruck or some other collar problem? Edited by KurtS 08/16/2008 12:39 am Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 08/16/2008 12:35 am It's broadstruck and a very collectible error coin. I don't know how much they are worth exactly, but my guess would be at least $15-$20. Broadstruck means it was struck without the retaining collar around the coin. The pressure of the dies slamming together pancaked the coin out to what appears to be larger than cent size. Very nice. Report this Post to the Staff
