I would like to see the edge area to see it is a partial collar?

Here is more images, I compared it to another 1975 and it as the same size. "A" has the rim and "B" is normal. Not sure if I answered your questions.  |

Images can be misleading. Original images seems a bit off in two directions using a ruler and now an overlay. Pending if an image is not skewed then a caliper is needed to accurately measure this.
I think coop was asking to see the edge. Most coins have three sides. The obverse, reverse and the edge. Thanks, Doug.

That is the rim area. I need to see if the edge of the coin is normal. If it is, then its just a MAD coin. If it looks different, I would like to see it.

Hopefully this is what you are asking coop and Halo1st.  |

I think you're mistaking the rim of the coin with what is being asked to check is the edge the coin. Thanks, Doug. One example I'm asking about: reference below from http://www.error-ref.com/wide-collar/ Note: coop I believe is checking for a partial collar or railroad rim. Still involves seeing what is going on around the edge of the coin. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st

Third time is a charm, thanks for the example! Here are different areas on the rim.  |

It's got some dings, but the edge looks normal to me.

What does that mean? The marks on the edge seem incused. If so would indicate contact on the coins edge was made after strike. If raised like the example, could indicate a break. Diameter should be 19 millimeters after strike. A broken or worn collar can allow more expansion. The result can be very subtle on an ageing (worn) collar compared to being more abrupt with collar breaks. Thanks, Doug. |

I was hoping for a Partial collar look:   The edge of the coin was not in the correctly. This will leave a raised are that was not formed because of was not full in the collar. But if it doesn't look like this, then it is probably just a MAD coin. (Mis-Aligned-Die) |

Now I understand why you were asking to see the edge. Thank you for your patience with me! I think its MAD then.  Edited by antmark3d
