1858 10-cent, broadstruck 5% off-centre. The collar die was completely disengaged, with no reeding on the edge, showing beautifully elongated denticles typical of broadstruck coins, and lack of collar allowed the coin to expand to 19 mm diameter. Errors from Canada's first year of decimal coinage are scarce, and while circulated, this one is a fine example of an early Victorian striking error.
