Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 02/15/2021 10:02 pm Agreed, damaged. I notice you've posted a few coins like this. A good thing to know is that broadstrikes never have reeding on the edge and are wider (hence the name) than a normal coin. This is because they're struck without the collar that constricts the coin's diameter during the strike and imparts reeding onto its edge. If it's too wide but still has reeding, it's damaged.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/16/2021 10:13 am The collar on the reed edge coins form the reeds. The planchet is squeezed into the collar. Thus on partial collars the reeds only affect the edge of the coin, in the collar: Note on the dollar, where you see reeds, then the area that is not in the collar squeezes over the top of the collar, making that area wider. So on your coin you see a hint of evidence that the reeds were there, so it is not a broadstruck as the coin was struck in the collar. Also broadstruck coins are often distorted is shape as the collar contains the roundness of a coin. Edited by coop 02/16/2021 10:21 am Report this Post to the Staff
