jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1260 Posts	Posted 10/08/2024 9:37 pm I traded a minor DDR for three broad struck cents that included this 1980. I really like the "flared" rim on this one. I think it would be considered off center.. Thank you for looking. Report this Post to the Staff

jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1260 Posts	Posted 10/08/2024 10:31 pm Thanks.. It's bigger than a normal cent and slightly smaller than a nickel. I'm gonna have to do a bit more research on partial collar vs broad struck. The other two have the same flared rim. Report this Post to the Staff
HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 572 Posts	Posted 10/08/2024 10:44 pm I vote for stiff collar error. Regardless, very nice coin! Edited by HGK3 10/08/2024 10:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1260 Posts	Posted 10/10/2024 1:55 pm Here's what I have found when doing a bit of research on broad struck verses partial collar strike. The broad struck is the result a missing collar resulting in a more centered and larger overall coin. The partial is caused by either a broken collar or misalignment of the planchet or the collar causing metal flow or "flare" as shown in the photos. I'm not good at putting my words on paper.
