I have a 1993-D LMC that measures 19.7-19.8mm.Does it qualify as a broad strike? Thanks much,
John1

Asking a question without images is a hard to answer: Would you like to go out on a blind date? You never know what it is being described?

John- you describe a coin that is roughly 4% larger than normal diameter. How did you arrive at your measurements?

Digital calipers. I just want to know at what point does the diameter of a coin become an out of collar broad strike? Thanks,
John1

Is that diameter consistant all the way around ? I ask because the rims look slightly flattened at 3 and 9 o'clock...25 thousandths wouldn't be hard to accomplish that way.

Didn't notice the flat areas at 3&9.What caught my eye was the gap between the lettering and the rim,it's wider then normal.

Looked at it some more and it feels larger then a normal cent in hand. I stacked it on top of some other '93-D's and it is wider,not by a lot but noticeably wider.So I will label it (broad struck?) Thanks for all the input,
John1
