GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 04/29/2019 8:59 pm I bought this about 2 months ago for $2 as a 5% off center strike. It wasn't till' I pulled it out I realized it was a (mostly) centered broadstrike! Report this Post to the Staff

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 04/29/2019 10:00 pm It looks like you have a former Encased Cent. Notice how the top of the last T of Trust and the M of Unum is almost cut off by the anomaly. On a centered broadstrike there would be no cutoff at this point. Here is one that I have that shows a centered broadstrike. The tops of the letters should not be cut off. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74705 Posts	Posted 04/29/2019 10:43 pm Definitely a damaged coin. Not a Broadstrike. At least you only paid 2 dollars for it. Unfortunately, not a cherrypick. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 04/29/2019 10:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff

GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 04/30/2019 06:13 am Let me find out when I get home from clubs after school today. Not that I don't believe yall, but humans will be human. I've owned Encased Cents before and unlike those that second rim isn't really "raised" Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/30/2019 2:05 pm It will be normal sized. When the coins are added to the holder by pressing them into the holder, it moves the metal to fit into the holder. PSD. If you have a coin in a holder, leave them there. When removed, all you have is a damaged coin. Report this Post to the Staff
