ilzho Valued Member United States 148 Posts	Posted 03/14/2015 10:49 am I have 2 of these dimes that look similar and my other ones do not. I see very slight doubling on some of the letters, my pictures do not show it, but more importantly, what about the left side of the rim? Looks like it might have been moved during it's strike of doubled? Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/14/2015 1:12 pm Looks like it is a wide collar error: http://www.error-ref.com/wide-collar/ Interesting read which seem to fit this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
ilzho Valued Member United States 148 Posts	Posted 03/14/2015 1:16 pm Neat. I'll guess I will keep these...... What is pictured is the best of the 2 dimes I have that have this. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/14/2015 1:27 pm I don't know how much value they have as I see them often. But it is always nice to find the correct term for them how it happened. Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 03/14/2015 1:29 pm I guess I do not understand how to tell the difference between a wide collar and a "railroad rim". What is the difference? Would the difference be that on a wide collar there is a measurable difference in the diameter of the coin from a normal coin and not so with the railroad rim?

ilzho Valued Member United States 148 Posts	Posted 03/14/2015 1:30 pm Well, that's ok. It's my first error!! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/14/2015 1:38 pm A partial collar affects the edge of the coin. So the term railroad rim (partial collar) is noticed on the edge of the coin: Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 03/14/2015 1:41 pm Very helpful, coop. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 03/14/2015 2:48 pm Interesting coop, I didn't consider a wide collar error. I guess to prove it is a wide collar error we must get the diameter of the dime. Ilzho, can you give us the diameter? Report this Post to the Staff

Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 03/14/2015 3:00 pm I read that as 17.9 mm (or just a hair shy). That makes it normal size if I read that correctly(?) Report this Post to the Staff
ilzho Valued Member United States 148 Posts	Posted 03/14/2015 3:03 pm Yes, 17.9 or very close to it. Report this Post to the Staff
