Now I know why they call them "broad" strikes. This one came apart at the seams a little better than most I've seen from circulation. Just figured it's worthy of showing off.
I th ink eddie that's an encased coin the appearance looks like that and not a broard strike Would you be able to give a side view of the coin the edges then i can tell for sure. Here's some broadstrike coins jazzcoins Joe
Coming up Joe. Just logged in. Give me a few minutes. BTW, you do notice how the coin is "broader" from left to right?
That is an encased coin the rims are the proof sorry Eddie better luck next time I hope for you . The firties are known to have alot of encased coins Eddie/ Here are pics of a side view of an encased coin .notice the indentation in the rim of the coin were the coin was in the case yours is very simular in that nature Jazzcoins Joe
Please someone with more experience look at this!! I have found a few of these also in the fifties and a 1943. First I thought somebody put them in a lathe or something, (although I don't know why) but I have held on to them and have quite never figured it out. I wish someone with more knowledge of error coins would comment about these???? Ben Peters
