1985D broad struck dime

Would this be considered a very minor strike? Because this is the most extreme on I've ever found.

Here's what a Broad-Strike looks like .

 

Thanks rick,after I posted this I was doing some MORE research and found alot of the 85ds are like this. Also I learned broad-struck coins do not have reeding lol. Thank you Rick your always a great help.

 

Anytime ...

 

Broadstrikes are very cool. Here is my dime

 

That is a cool one,love the orange Peel effect.

 

Would this fall into the broad strike category?

 

Richard...very cool! Ironic too!!! I found nearly the same coin today and posted it because I was not sure what it was. Read what was posted under mine. VERY interesting considering you found one too and it caught your attention as well!

 

nope. spooned coin

 

No.. Spooned as mentioned

 

broadstrike coins occur during the minting process, actually at the striking process where the collar is missing, loose, etc.

spooned, dryer coins, etc occur after the coin has left the mint and humans are allowed to attack coins and destroy them to their hearts content. Nothing to do with the minting process. Just damaged, aka PMD.
