2002 Broadstrike Error 10c Graded MS66 by PCGS.
A broadstrike error coin is a coin struck with a larger-than-normal diameter due to a malfunction during the minting process, specifically when the collar die (the die surrounding the lower die) is loose or improperly positioned.
This causes the metal blank to flow beyond the intended boundaries of the die, resulting in a coin that's larger than its intended size. All denominations of US coins with a broadstrike have plain edges.
