jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1259 Posts	Posted 05/22/2024 10:43 pm Good evening CCF.. This is another off center broad strike from the lot I picked up some time ago. It's really shows what happens when there's a collar break or no collar at all doing the minting process. Photos don't do it justice..I like it. I hope I used the right terminology on this one. Thanks for looking. Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 05/23/2024 09:37 am Great coin! As for terminology, you are close. Since "off center" is an error type, and "broadstrike" is an error type, and they are mutually exclusive, you really can't have an off-center broadstrike. The correct terminology for your coin is uncentered broadstrike. How these are defined can be found here: https://www.error-ref.com/broadstrike-uncentered/ Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6498 Posts	Posted 05/23/2024 12:24 pm Heh, that cent is really pancaked! Is there something that can be done to stop zinc rot? Eventually that will eat the coin, right? Report this Post to the Staff
jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1259 Posts	Posted 05/23/2024 12:53 pm The only thing I know to do to keep the "zinc" cents from turning into dust is to treat with Veri-Care and put into an Airtight capsule. If anybody has a better method, please let me know. thanks Report this Post to the Staff
