Papasquirrel1 Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 02/01/2014 09:09 am I have found quite a few partial collar error halves, but this is the first I have seen where the lip goes all the way around such as it does on this half. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 02/01/2014 09:26 am Nice partial collar, and a clear demonstration of why they are known as "railroad rims". The coin looks like the wheel of a railroad car. Report this Post to the Staff

Papasquirrel1 Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 02/01/2014 10:17 pm I have actually found quite a few partial collar halves. They typically get kicked out of the Coin Wrapping Machine. But this is the first I have found where the overlapping lip goes all the way around the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Depending on you light source, it can be as simple as a sheet of typing paper, a plastic grocery bag, a single sheet of facial tissue, rice paper, ETC. Something to remove the glare from the lighting, but yet able to let the light through. I've even used two sheets of bond paper. This gets great images of full coins: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...d_nick_4.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...47_LAM_4.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._1940S_5.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._1981S_4.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...62_PR__2.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...62_PR__3.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...1971-S_2.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...1971-S_3.jpg Edited by coop 02/02/2014 1:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
