Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4379 Posts	Posted 11/30/2020 8:41 pm This is a coin I've recently acquired, and was hoping I could get some expert input on what I'm looking at here. I am specifically referring to the reverse, which has a "step" where the struck portion and unstruck portion meet. this step is about half the width of a normal dime and is reeded. Is this just a huge collar scar or is there something I'm missing here? It coincides with the reeding on the obverse which I previously thought was a collar clash, but now I'm not so sure. This is a second post of the same coin I posted last week but I didn't have the coin in hand then, and didn't know about the step. If it's better I bump that previous post mods please let me know. Thanks for the help! Edited by Adam_E 11/30/2020 8:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4379 Posts	Posted 11/30/2020 8:53 pm Halo, I know it's an OC strike, I was just curious about what caused the anomaly that I described that this coin contains. I haven't seen something similar before. Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2151 Posts	Posted 11/30/2020 10:31 pm The reverse step anomaly most likely from the collars presence during strike? The reeding on the obverse has me thinking a possible collar clash prior. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4379 Posts	Posted 11/30/2020 10:40 pm Thanks for the thoughts, that was my line of thinking as well, I've just never seen anything this strong before. Edited by Adam_E 11/30/2020 10:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Gincoin43 Pillar of the Community United States 1543 Posts	Posted 12/01/2020 11:53 am Looks like the planchet was sticking past the collar, and since only one of the dies moves, it tried to push the planchet down leaving a flat side(without collar) and the "step" where the collar was able to shape the coin.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 47798 Posts	Posted 12/01/2020 12:02 pm The step down is part of the gutter on the die that rounds the rim. Note the rim gutter on the die. Richard S.
