[QUOTE="alurid, post: 3120727, member: 81991"]Just so you know, the chances of finding a "Broadstrike Coin " in your pocket change are pretty much "0" well maybe .05 in 500 million. The Mints send bags of coin to companys that put them in rolls. Their coin rolling machines will kick out some defective coins. People who do "Coin Roll Searching" may find any defective coins that are in the rolls. Some people buy the bags of coins and search them, increasing the chance of finding defective coins. The defective coins are sold or Slabbed and sold. Note the Grades on the 6 slabbed coins shown. All above MS-63 and all with a RD which stands for "Red", None of those coins have seen any Circulation. They are quite easy to find on E-bay, They say "Broadstruck" right on the slab. If you want one. Buy one. But don't expect to find one in your change. Peace :)[/QUOTE]
