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.
