2001 P Lincoln Memorial Penny • MINT ERROR, Broadstruck • North East Error Collection Label • Graded NGC Brilliant Uncirculated

A broadstrike is a rare coin error where the blank (planchet) isn't properly held by the retaining collar during striking, causing the metal to flow outward and create a larger, often thinner coin with a smooth, expanded edge instead of the usual reeding or lettering.

The key feature is that the full design, including rims, remains visible on the coin; if parts of the design are missing, it's an off-center strike, not a broadstrike
