[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 3124669, member: 78298"]So can this be broadstruck with an MAD on the obverse? It's not off center. This looks like a nice error. Going to need some clarification on this error. Since the reverse is centered and the obverse is not. [SIZE=6]Broadstrikes:[/SIZE] A coin that is struck outside the collar. The collar is the retaining ring that establishes the final diameter of the newly-struck coin. A broadstrike will expand beyond the diameter of a normal coin, sometimes drastically so. A perfectly centered coin that is struck out-of-collar is simply called a “broadstrike”. An imperfectly centered coin that is struck out-of-collar is called an [URL='http://www.error-ref.com/broadstrike-uncentered/']“uncentered broadstrike[/URL]”. In order to qualify as a broadstrike, the full design must be present on both faces. If the design is cut off on either face, it is called an “[URL='http://www.error-ref.com/cupped-off-center-strike/']off-center strike[/URL]”.[/QUOTE]
