jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1259 Posts	Posted 02/16/2024 8:04 pm Good evening CCF.. This is one of those fun finds that I thought someone might help me verify possible errors on. I'm pretty sure it's a 1972 P broad strike from the number two master die due to the doubling on the N in IGWT, The coin also has another area that appears to be another strike of some sort or damage caused by the broken or missing collar. I tried to keep the number of photos at a minimum, but I can post more if needed. It'd definitely a keeper for me. I am by no means an expert, but I'm trying to use knowledge that I've gained here on CCF. Hope I got some of it right. Thanks for your comments. Report this Post to the Staff

I'll wait and see what the folks that know about these things reply. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1259 Posts	Posted 02/16/2024 8:59 pm Thanks makecents.. I agree with you about the master die doubling. I just found it interesting that I could connect it to a broad strike. If it's actually a broad strike. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 02/16/2024 9:07 pm Looks broadstruck to me--what is the diameter? Also for the rim near TRUST, do you think that is ejection damage?

jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1259 Posts	Posted 02/16/2024 9:09 pm Yes..I thought the rim damage was from ejection. Might have been jammed or something. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2736 Posts	Posted 02/17/2024 11:59 am The indentation at 1:00 appears to be a small external chain strike. Such errors occur when the expanding perimeter of a broadstruck coin makes contact with the unstruck portion of an off-center planchet that is pinned by the dies of the adjacent striking chamber.
