Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1863 Posts	Posted Today 3H 21M ago I believe there is a collar issue but don't know which. Edited by Seeker_101 Today 3H 11M ago Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 7026 Posts	Posted Today 3H 10M ago Some form of partial collar? https://www.error-ref.com/partial-collar/ Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 7026 Posts	Posted Today 3H 7M ago Or possibly a collar shimmy, although those seem to be quite rare on American coins. https://www.error-ref.com/collar-shimmy/ Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 81193 Posts	Posted Today 2H 52M ago Nice find! Was it found CRH? Although, I wouldn't hold it with bare fingers like that. Wear gloves. You don't want to leave fingerprints on a valuable coin like that. I'll contact Mike Diamond for this one. Errers and Varietys.

Dearborn Moderator United States 112003 Posts	Posted Today 2H 42M ago looks like it was in the collar then somehow slipped out, maybe upon ejection.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 7026 Posts	Posted Today 2H 26M ago Whatever happened, it doesn't look like a clean process. The railroad rims that I have seen posted here generally have a structured, struck coin profile (even though it's a striking error). Some of those areas look crushed or sheared. I would almost wonder at mechanical PMD, but the device smearing looks like it was produced during the strike. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 81193 Posts	Posted Today 2H 14M ago Could it be a Stiff Collar error, along with other errors that occurred at the same time? https://www.error-ref.com/stiff-collar-strike/ Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2753 Posts	Posted Today 2H 11M ago As Errers and Varietys said, this is an off-center strike in combination with a stiff collar error. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 7026 Posts	Posted Today 2H 7M ago E&V, I bet you're right. When I looked at the pictures, I thought each coin face had the overhang spreading in the opposite direction. But both faces are in the same direction. Edit: Ninja'd. So on this coin, which die was the hammer die? Or put another way, which side of a stiff collar strike gets the partial reeds, and which gets the fin—hammer or anvil?

Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1863 Posts	Posted Today 1H 31M ago Thank you for in input. I thought it might be a stiff collar but also thought it might be a partial tilted collar. Report this Post to the Staff
