NOT a stain!NO basement, NO PMDit is off side struck and had differnt hights and nicely rounded ahead of the rim. The strike is much deeper on one side with metal protruding at the side. this is very difficult to photograph. stain would be not a problem there is a picture that is very close to this on C+CAN site under errors. theirs is a bit more stronger, but it is just like mine. |

Not a broadstruck coin. By definition, a broadstruck coin means there was no collar die (and therefore no rim).
I remain unconvinced that your coin is a legit error.

SPP,
I understand your hesitation and I appreciate your input.
I have tried everything to show the rounded sections and whatever.
but that is the best I can do.
I will rest it for now and revisit maybe tomorrow or later with another lens or another camera.
thanks for now

Approximately 45 tons of pressure was placed on the dies, to strike the CPZ planchets into coins. Also remember that the fields are the highest points on the dies. There is nothing to account for one side showing an arcuate impression on the obverse (look at where the arc meets the beads) and an apparent bulge on the reverse (especially with the reverse being the hammer die). A loose or poorly adjusted collar die can account for roundness of the rim, but with your coin, all I see in your coin (aside from damage that caused the bulge) is a slightly misaligned reverse die (MAD), but still within tolerances of the mint.

Can you try a couple more pictures at different angles.
I don't know about everyone else but my eyes are playing trick on me with this photo.
Cheers, Bill

 - a damaged coin is what I see. "Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.

I am late to answer. Weight is almost. the diameter absolute not.
Weight: 2.25 grams.
Diameter : 19.05 mm, thickness: 1.45 mm
I see at least 4% (with out real numbers) off strike.
In fact those coins was strike at 60 tones with no enlarging deformation.
On the same year the mint strike other outside coins.
