<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 3047660, member: 92083&quot;]This specimen is so perfectly centered and symmetrical you might not even know it is a broadstrike (many are oblong and noticeably distorted).</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of you may think you see a rim (and thus making it a &quot;planchet&quot;, not a &quot;blank&quot;), but there is no rim. Nor is there a reeded edge a standard Washington quarter has; as you can see, it appears smooth like on a nickel.</p><p><br /></p><p>Broadstrikes are rare, but not scarce. But they are very rare to find stamped on a Type 1 blank instead of a planchet. This one is graded MS65 by ANACS.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]761861[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]761862[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]761863[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Below is my other 1998 broadstruck quarter (currently ungraded), but it is stamped on a planchet (with an upset rim) and is noticeably oblong and the edge is contorted. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]761867[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]761868[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>To learn a little more about broadstrikes, click the link below:</p><p><a href="http://www.error-ref.com/broadstrikes/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.error-ref.com/broadstrikes/" rel="nofollow">http://www.error-ref.com/broadstrikes/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
