Hi all, I had posted this 1 Cent Mint Error some time ago as a Misaligned Die Strike. @Fred Weinberg himself called it a Misaligned Die Strike. I sent it to NGC and they attributed it as a Broadstruck Mint Error... What do you think?
Here is the original thread - https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1c-1939-3-misaligned-die-strike-uncirculated.304592/
I think what we think does not matter. I think you know more about mint errors than most of us . I think you should send the coin back to NGC ATTN: Dave Camire. Tell Dave what Fred said and ask him to take another look. On the other hand, It may be more fun to post possible TPGS mistakes! Oh, as I wrote, it doesn't matter what we think. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Here is where I am at now, learning the differences between the two. So how about calling it an MDS with a hint of Broadstrike?
Sounds like a heavy weight and a respected authority disagreed and would probably be worth a second look by NGC
@paddyman98 Check out my update on the I've been burned before so...MD? curious to see what you think...
I've had ex-wives and ex-girlfriends broader than that coin. They used to be striking, but age is a cruel taskmaster.
I think your coin looks like it was struck on a type I blank with tilted collar. I do not see any proto-rim on the unstruck metal from 2 to 8 o'clock on the Obverse. And the Collar mark on the Reverse is deeper on side than the other. The photos in your other post show great detail. I have a "42" that looks alot like this coin but not off-center as much.
Wouldn't broadstruck be a more valuable error than MAD? Not sure I agree on the AU-58 but need better photos.
What does a caliper say about its diameter? If the diameter is too big, doesn't that make it a broadstruck?
This is a Partial Collar Error. It may also have been struck on a blank. It is my understanding that a Type 1 Blank will not fit into the collars of the press.
