coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/09/2014 12:01 pm It is a collar clash. Mike Diamond posted this link a while back. http://www.error-ref.com/collar-clash.html Nice find. Best to start a new thread with your coin. Someone maybe trying to search for the information posted on it and would not expect it in a different thread title. Edited by coop 04/09/2014 12:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 04/09/2014 5:18 pm The collar is also known as the third die and its purpose is to define the diameter of a coin and apply the reeding. It is essentially a steel plate with a hole in the middle and a die above and below the collar to form the coining chamber. A collar clash occurs when a collar is tilted and collides with a die during striking. The edge of the collar will make an impression on the edge of a die and the clash is then subsequently transferred to all coins struck with that particular die. Collar clashes are usually fairly minor but are most noticeable on a reeded coin due to the scalloped impression left by the clash. Report this Post to the Staff
ghostrivertrading Valued Member United States 167 Posts	Posted 04/11/2014 07:31 am And the edges on these dimes? They have reeding but would this be a collar problem or Struck Through Grease? I am learning so much and getting better at identifying problems. Got a long ways to go though. Thanks, Deborah Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/12/2014 12:15 am I checked with Mike Diamond about the 1985-D Dime posted here. Interesting comments: Quote: Mike Diamond: 1985-D dimes are notorious for poorly-struck design rims in combination with a very well-struck edge. It's due to two factors: 1) inadequate upset of the blank, and 2) excessive die convexity (a design flaw). This dime is also a bit banged up, but most of what you see was present when it emerged from the press. Mike So what you see on your dime was the way it was struck. Report this Post to the Staff
