I think this e-bay auction which advertised this Jefferson Nickel as Off Center is actually a Broadstrike right? It seems like the entire diameter of the nickel is present: http://www.ebay.com/itm/160794499386?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 I have about 7 Off Center Jefferson Nickels but no Broadstrikes. As I considered buying it I realized I didn't know the general value or which of the two errors would be worth more or which is more common. I understand that similarities in pricing the two in looking at how off center the strike was similar to how broadstrikes are priced with variance based on centering and just how big the strike was. In general though is one usually worth more than the other between the two errors? It seems that like I see more off center strikes than broadstrikes but which is more common amongst Jefferson Nickels?
Yes, an uncentered broadstrike would be the best way to describe this coin. Thanks Abe! Any idea though whether Off Center strikes or Broadstrikes tend to be more common or which tends to be worth more generally?
All depends on the buyer usually. In general a broadstrike coin tends to bring just a fuzz more but not always...
