Jdford Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 03/07/2022 12:09 pm @coop, it fits in a 2 x 2 for a quarter, however that could still be broadstruck. The weight is still the same as a regular nickel. Ima send it off in a few days to be graded. I'll send pictures when done. Thanks for all the help! Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2739 Posts	Posted 03/07/2022 4:12 pm Coop asked me to resolve this question. This is a "forced broadstrike". During the strike the expanding disc made transient contact with a stiff, but still collapsible collar. As it forced the collar down, the edge of the disc contacted the collar's beveled entrance and grazed the upper margin of the collar's working face. This created the coin's characteristic beveled edge. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
