**Edit** Odd at first glance I thought off center. But I believe I am wrong !!
Quote: Off-center coins: If a planchet lies partially outside of the dies during the striking, it receives an off-center strike. Each coin struck off center is unique. Off-center coins with dates are more valuable than coins without dates. Generally but not always, on dated coins, the greater the off-center strike, the more it is worth. Some collectors collect off-center coins by their "clock" positions. Hold the coin with portrait upright and look for the direction the strike lies. If it is at 90 degrees, the strike is at 3 o'clock; if it lies at 270 degrees, the strike is at 9 o'clock. Premiums have been rising for late-date examples of this error, since fewer are being produced and released.
I see the shadow of some reeding showing on the normal edges of the coin. A guess that the stretched side has no reeding ? If not, then would that not also be partially out of collar ?
