Here is coin #5 of the recent five coins received in change at my local grocery store the past few weeks I pulled as keepers.

This find was a first for me, a 2010-P Dime that on first glance looks to be post mint damage in the location of K9:30 to K11.
Intrigued by how uniform the markings were, a closer examination was necessary to determine if this was a genuine error or
PMD.
As I viewed this, my minds eye would show that this is plausible and can indeed be a error that while I have never viewed before, I would label a "Collar Clash", where the edge of the Obverse Die had clashed with the Collar.
To see if this was even possible, I spent the next few hours of viewing both error coin magazines and books looking for some type of confirmation/photos of a Collar clashing with the Hammer Die.
I believe I found it on page #313 of "The Error Coin Encyclopedia" where it notes it is possible for the Hammer Die to come in contact with the Collar.
I have spent many years collecting all type of errors and this is a first, now is the time to see who in this forum agree with me on a Clashed Collar, and who believe it is something else.
I ask anyone believing this is
PMD to also add in their comment, how they believe this coin came to be if
PMD is suspected (ie: hammer/punch).
