Description

NGC Copper Broadstruck Mint Error Penny Unc

NGC Uncirculated Broadstruck Lincoln Copper Penny Mint Error North East Error Collection Gadsden Flag Label

This copper Lincoln cent features a significant broadstruck mint error, which occurs when the coin is struck outside of the retaining collar, causing it to expand in diameter beyond its standard size. This uncirculated specimen is housed in a specialty NGC holder featuring the North East Error Collection pedigree and a custom Don't Tread on Me Gadsden Flag label. The error is clearly visible as the design flows toward the edges, creating a larger, distorted planchet while maintaining crisp uncirculated details on both the obverse and reverse. As a certified mint error, this copper penny represents a unique manufacturing anomaly preserved in a highly collectible specialized slab.

NGC Lincoln Cent Broadstruck Mint Error Uncirculated Copper Penny

Condition: This specimen is held in a professional numismatic slab and is designated as Mint Error Uncirculated. The coin exhibits a bright copper luster with no signs of wear from circulation. As a broadstruck error, the coin was struck outside of the retaining collar, causing it to expand beyond its standard diameter while retaining all design elements. The surfaces appear well-preserved with a sharp strike on both the obverse portrait of Lincoln and the reverse Lincoln Memorial.

This is a Lincoln Memorial cent struck by the United States Mint. The metal content is copper. This item features a significant broadstruck mint error, which occurs when the collar die fails to engage during the striking process, allowing the planchet to spread outward. It is historically part of the North East Error Collection and has been professionally graded and encapsulated by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation) as Mint Error Uncirculated. The strike type is a business strike error.
