Broadstruck nickels are to cool!

I've never been so excited to open a bubble mailer.
Yeah, a 65 Morgan with color is beautiful, but BS nickels are extremely fun to look at.
Inexpensive and obvious, thanks Blackhawk.
Post some errors if you wish,

    That reads like an SAT question: Broadstruck nickels are to cool as doubled die nickels are to ________________.

    Exceptional, wow, bought on an impulse.
    How diffucult would it be to assemble an 88P BS mint set?

    Well, if we want to get technical about it, the "to" in the title of the OP's post is used incorrectly. The correct form of the word is "too".

    Actually, not too difficult at all. I can help you with the Lincoln cent if you wish, but I am out of town for the next two weeks.

    PM me Rampage. Do you have a pic of the cent?

    I've bought a few of those but what I find so amazing, how do they come in such pristine condition. Think about it. They're not mass produced this way. It seldom happens but who knows how often but yet, these errors are almost in perfect condition and they make their way out of the mint in bags???

    Not!

    Major mint errors stand out due to their unusual appearance and are almost always immediately pulled out of circulation---hence, they usually survive in high grades.

    I was wondering when Broadstruck was gonna chime in image
    Always enjoy looking at your BS Morgan. I would assume very difficult to come by.
    Nice WLH.
    Peace,
