  Technically an uncentered broadstrike because none of the design elements are missing. It's very very close to an off-center strike though.

  The pictures are too unclear to properly attribute this..if design is missing, it's an off-center, if not, it's either a partial collar or a broadstrike (most likely.)

  It is an uncentered broadstrike, it has been struck out of collar.

  I agree, but if it was being presented as slightly off center I don't know that I'd argue, it is very close.

  Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.
