tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6114 Posts	Posted 10/15/2022 12:47 am I bought this one labeled as broadstruck for $7.50. But Honestly not sure if that is quite right as the reverse rim shows signs of maybe a partial collar. Totally unsure what the striations are on the obverse, but maybe some ejection damage or similar, but seems like even for damage it's pretty cool looking. Diameter is 20.5 N-S and 20.4 E-W. 1946 Lincoln Wheat cent mint error - broadstruck or partial collar Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5779 Posts	Posted 10/15/2022 08:21 am Nice one. Looks like a broadstrike with the oversized diameter and increased distance between the letters and rim. And the reverse rim at K10-K2 does appear to be from a partial collar strike. The reverse has nice detail to it. I also noticed the deeper rim in the same area on the reverse (compared to the bottom). At first, I thought of a tilted die but realized it was from the planchet sitting on the collar when it was struck. I wonder if all of this means the collar die broke away at about K6 of the reverse?

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 10/15/2022 4:54 pm Super look to this one TB ! Those lines on the obverse. If it had been scrapes then the letters of Liberty would have shown displaced metal that was out of position. Instead, these letters look to have been abraded away. Most likely hung up in a conveyor belt after the strike. I think you posted something a while back that suffered this fate. Report this Post to the Staff
