2018 D Quarter Voyageurs Minor Misaligned Die? Or Partial Collar?

Thanks for the pic , I actually meant a pic of what you might call the side of the coin in that area.

Again, thanks!
What I am wondering is , does the reeding on the edge of the coin beside the word Pluribus look normal, or does it look as though it stops before it reaches the reverse.

Nice find levelsofmadnes!

Thanks Errers and Varietys.

Thanks for adding the other pics !
I see now the reeding is not normal.
I thought it might be a partial collar strike in addition to a MAD strike that caused the letters of EPU to radiate out like that .
Excellent find !

WOW coop!

That is a lot of work. Thanks

I think I will use your edited work in my book of knowledge; more info!

I was asked to weigh in on this subject. I suspect the smeared, incuse letters are the result of a slightly uncentered positioning of the planchet toward the left along with a minor stiff collar error. Because the planchet was slightly uncentered, the right side of the coin had to expand in order for its edge to reach the working face of the collar. This caused the peripheral letters on the right side to take on a smeared appearance as the coin metal dragged itself across the protruding letters on the die face. The coin does show a minor horizontal misalignment of the hammer (reverse) die. Probably a "forced misalignment" since it co-occurs with a stiff collar error.

Awesome modern error coin from the Denver mint!
