You are correct, Tropicalbats, this is an external chain strike.

Woo hoo!!! Thanks Mike, and maybe I'm starting to get a little better at these after only how many years of trying.

Neat error and informative topic. I had to refresh my knowledge with this and read up on it at error-ref. These errors almost look like PMD because at first glance it has the appearance of pushed metal and it is a kind of pushed metal (from another coin) which is interesting. |

Well I suppose most folks thought it was PMD, as in some kind of dent from a dropped coin or similar. It sold at auction for the starting price of...one dollar. |

Great coin TB, but what exactly is a "External Chain Strike" never heard of that before...

Well, I tried my best to describe it above. Maybe go to error.ref and read their description under chain strikes if still confused. I Understand it as a chain strike that occurs outside of the striking chamber, and thus mostly happens on broadstruck coins.

So, walk me through this. Coin is broad struck due to an unseated collar, or no collar. Then the coin is clipped because of the (out of sequence) action of the collar?

The coin is indeed struck without the collar being deployed. The flat edge is not a clip. It is where the expanding perimeter of the coin contacted the protruding portion of an off-center coin pinned by the adjacent die pair.
