Cool Broadstrikes!

Here's a really nice Gem BU broadstrike I picked up which has flashy, reflective fields, but when looking at high resolution photos, we see something else, wonderful radial medal flow going out from the center. It's especially noticeable on the reverse.
Very nice way to enjoy these errors!
Post any broadstrikes you have!

An old thread that was recently revived led me to here:

This coin is the eighth one on the list. I'd never seen anything like it, and I think it's really neat.
(Not my coin, obviously.)
I collect world proof sets, coins featuring composers, mid-20th century U.S. proof coins, U.S. type coins, and whatever else I want.

I caught the bug a few of these years ago. I'll never understand how mark-free, immaculate they can be, yet grades of MS64 or 65 are all they can muster. Here are a few examples.

After two decades of collecting Broadstruck mint errors I'm now at my end game only grabbing ones that if you pass you might never see again. Here's my 2023 purchases which fit this criteria both being Uncentered Broadstrikes. It's so tough to find any 19th or pre-WWII 20th century original skinned toned silver coinage which wasn't dipped at one point to showcase the mint error. As far as Canada is concerned you usually never see a broadstrike for another century later on 1960's coinage.
@Zoins... Wow.. that is a great broadstrike.... As you noted, the radial lines are incredible. Cheers, RickO
Here’s my contribution.

Great thread. Loving it.
Quite the variety I’ve never seen before. Thanks for posting!!!
My new purchase, maybe unique double error, 1999 Wide AM MS66+ and broadstruck, for my Top 100 modern coin set.

Gotta love the error coin 🪙 👌
Not mine, but I felt it fit the thread title.

I like broadstrikes. I don’t have any but at least, like off-centers, are very unlikely to be moonlight minted.
Wife rediscovered this in a ziploc while cleaning out an old purse the other day...
WoW! What?...Rediscovered?...Really? Can you elaborate? Nice!! 👍🏻

@OAKSTAR - Sure, at the time I was working at a coin processing facility. Any A (IMO) coins I came across went in my collection. C coins were sold for chump change to dealers. B (interesting but not pristine) coins were gifted to family (wife) and friends. Flash-forward 30 years and our closets are stuffed floor to ceiling with handbags and shoes we're clearing out.
_Rediscovered_a cent too...
@wozymodo- Hmmm, interesting. Thanks!

Just looking through this older thread and see that Frank posted two fantastic pieces.
This might have been one of his last posts.

I’ll add some bullion broad stokes as these are the only ones I have. I do have a broad struck coin from the Philippines
that I bought from him 10 years back but can’t find the pic right now.

What…is this??
I would love to see this piece out of that plastic.
Looks like a "piece de caprice" or fantasy coin struck using a Trade Dollar obverse die and a Half Dollar reverse die without a collar. It's not a regular production coin. It's a fabricated mint product made for a mint employee's amusement or for his profit.
Edited to add---Someone pointed out they are two different coins, so my original comment doesn't apply. I thought they were one coin.

These were originally posted by someone who was doing research at the Carson City mint museum if I recall correctly. He found these there while doing the research and they are 2 separate pieces that are real.They are both 1873-CC's
