Link added-Broad strike vs. Off Center
Tunis
Posts: 430 ✭✭✭✭
I am beginning to take a look at these types of error coins. I have a few questions that I hope someone can help me with.
1. Which type of error is more “rare”? I see tons of coins listed as off center or miscut, and it can be a little off center, all the way to the details of the coin almost completely “missing”. Coins listed as broad struck seem to be not as plentiful but there are some coins described with the same two terms? This leads to be next question.
2. How is a broad struck coin created and what is the definition of broad struck coin vs. an off centered coin?
Thanks in advance.

Answered!!! No follow up needed. Found a great site online that showed me the minting process and then explained broad strikes.

You are the definition of an educated man...someone who knows where to look for the answer to their question.
