This 1986-D Lincoln Memorial Cent exhibits a classic broadstrike error, created when the coin was struck without the retaining collar in place. The absence of the collar during striking allowed the metal to flow outward beyond normal boundaries, resulting in a distinctive flattened rim and expanded diameter. The broadstrike particularly affects the "In God We Trust" (IGWT) area as noted in the holder. Despite the error, the coin displays excellent strike details and attractive copper-red coloration with minimal wear. The Denver mint mark is clearly visible, and the date remains sharp. The reverse shows the Lincoln Memorial with full architectural details. Broadstrike errors are increasingly sought after by error coin collectors, especially on well-preserved specimens like this. A fascinating example of U.S. Mint error coinage showing what happens when the minting process goes awry.
