Picked this up yesterday along with some other things. It has a clear tilted partial collar with reeding that goes pretty much halfway around the coin. Wasn't sure at all how this would be labeled so I asked Mike Diamond for clarification. He notes: "It certainly does show a tilted partial collar that dipped below the plane of the anvil die face at one pole. There's no consensus on whether to call such an error a partial collar error, an uncentered broadstrike, or (as I prefer) a partial collar/broadstrike. The "reeding scars" near GOD are the result of collar clash." So there you have it, and I also like partial collar/broadstrike so running with that. The long axis from the first S of states is 21.8mm while the short axis is 21.25mm. 1999-P Susan B Anthony dollar mint error - partial collar/broadstrike

Thanks for the great comments! My photography of non-copper coins is pretty iffy but the error isn't exactly hard to see here.

Really nice and easy to see errors. Quote: ... The "reeding scars" near GOD are the result of collar clash." I'm confused and curious about this part. Why does this look like a collar clash from a reeded coin (ie: Kennedy half or quarter)? The collar for the SBA dollar isn't reeded is it?

Good question, and one I do not have an answer for as yes the collar on the coin should not be reeded. As a Lincoln specialist, I have lately been struggling to understand collar clash and how it shows on struck coins so not an area I can lead on at all. I used the made up term "reeding scars" when I sent images to Mike and that may not have been a great way to describe it confusing the issue from the start. They are incuse and look like reeding so that's the term I came up with.

Well SBA's are a reeded coin, so it would make sense that the collar is reeded. It is the edge lettered business strike coins that are struck with a flat collar then edged later on a separate machine. https://susanbanthonydollar.org/sus...eeded%20edge. Quote:The Susan B. Anthony dollar was struck on planchets with an outer layer of 75% copper and 25% nickel bonded to an inner core of pure copper, yielding a net composition of 91.67% copper and 8.33% nickel. The coins weigh 8.1 grams and have a diameter of 26.5 mm. All pieces are struck with a reeded edge.

Thanks Dearborn. I was thinking of gold dollars. Yes, this coin has a reeded edge as it is very clearly visible where the tilted partial collar shows and even photographed it for this posting. So confusing to move out of my home turf of Lincolns and into error coins on this, that and the other denomination.

Thanks TB and Dearborn.
Another reason I don't stray too far from my lane. LOL
