SOLVED: What Error is this?

[jdsarasin8194]

And how much do you guys think it worth? It's thinner and wider than a regular penny but doesn't show any sign of someone flatining it post-mint. In the the first picture, the thing that looks like a collar isn't that, just a shadow, there is no rim on this coin

P.S. The coin that looks like an error is the middle, its almost the diameter of the nickle and i put the IH there for comparison to a regular penny size

Re: What Error is this?

Here's a quote from a coin website that explains it. "A broadstruck coin is formed when the collar is not surrounding the planchet during the strike.

The collar should completely surrounds the reverse die to help hold the planchet in place during striking. This helps the detail form on the coin and helps form the edge of the coin. On coins with reeded edges, the reeding design is in the collar. When the metal is forced against the collar, the reeded edge is formed.

The collar floats on springs independent of the die. Thus the collar can be down or at an angle when the planchet is struck. If the collar was attached to the coinage press in a fixed position, it could result in serious damage if the die struck the planchet incorrectly.

If the collar is not in the proper position when the planchet is struck, it allows the metal to be distorted outward. If the collar is jam on one side but not the other, you will get a partial collar strike. On reeded coins, the reeding will not show completely around the coin." According to another website value is about $5. Not enough to quit your day job but still a 500% profit. http://www.coinsite.com/html/userrorprices.asp

I would've said that it was an offsrike if the strike was off center, but it is almost perfectly center, just wide and thin with no rim on the coin.
