First, I'd like to say I am a long time reader of these forums. I really learn a lot from you all. Thanks for that.

I got this a while back and assumed it was PMD junk. Before I actually junk it I wanted to check in here. The coin weighs 6.57g, which comports with the weights of the other, normal, $2 coins I have.

Thanks in advance.

I dont reckon its a collar issue. The coin looks like a counterfeit to me.

To me it looks like someone has placed this coin in a lathe and grinded off part of the edge

Yes, it looks like the edge was ground off, though the weight still seems good. I'll junk it. Thanks.

Before you junk it a close up of the obverse lettering might be in order. The appearance of the edge is similar to what you might see if a coin was struck and then failed to leave the collar properly and then was struck again. That being said it's most likely PMD but we should rule out other possibilities first.

Hi - Sorry for the delay. Here is a larger image of the front of the coin.
