<b>1921-D Morgan Dollar Broadstruck Mint Error. NGC graded MS64.</b> Soft satin-like fields careening with lustrous silver color, a very choice specimen. Nicely struck with just outstanding detail at the centers in spite of its error status.

Broadstruck coins are an error type which, until recent years, have been largely overlooked by error coin collectors.

The Margolis-Weinberg guide to Error Coins is where you&#39;ll get a good understanding of the process that made this silver dollar. The broadstruck error coin happens when a coin is struck without the collar present to form the rim that is part of the coin shape. The reason for the lack of the collar is very simple. In all coinage presses used in the U.S. Mints, the bedplate in which the collar is located is mounted on springs. This allows the bedplate and collar to retract and &#34;give&#34; if an accident should occur. The accident would be one where the dies slam down against the collar or against a jam-up of blanks which would cause excessive resistance to the downward motion of the hammer dies in a regular down stroke.

If the condition should arise where the collar is jammed on the shaft of the lower die, that collar will ride up and down as the lower die moves in normal press operation. In one situation, the collar may jam down on the lower die shaft so that the top of the collar is level with the die face. When this happens, the blank being fed into the collar will not be controlled by the collar. When struck, as happened here, the blank will spread and distort outward because the collar isn&#39;t in the correct position to retain it.

This spread coin is the &#34;broadstruck error coin.&#34; Its characteristics will be that it is larger in diameter than a normally struck coin &#40;one with a regular rim&#41;. The edges will have the shape of the blank. If the blank happened to be a Type One &#40;with no raised rim&#41;, the coin will have the rough edge of that type of blank. If the blank is a Type Two &#40;as this is&#41;, which went through the Upset Mill and received a raised rim, that raised rim will be visible on the struck broadstruck coin <b>&#40;PCGS # 7298&#41;</b>
