I never. I repeat I never find these. So this was a nice find I had to share. I was looking for DDO's but I won't complain on this one.   |

I'm not sure but there is something more going on than a simple off center . There is a extra "rim" line to the reverse south and the last letters of America are flowing over a bulge . This is not exactly something I'm truly familiar with but as I said there looks to be something more going on here.
Also the " bulge " on the edge is oriented in a different direction from the off center strike. Much more going on here.

I know what you are saying Stoneman but it is just a part of the error. Yes the extra lip is apparent but it is seen on other coins of this error. Perhaps a senior CCF member can explain why. *cough coop *cough help me out

Flat and that was a nice link coop! So the term is collar scar if I were to explain the circular impression that has been mentioned. Learned something new today :-)

So coop, on Mikes article, is this the beginning of a "splash" coin error if more than 1 coin became "fusued"?

On this coin it looks like it has a collar scar on the die that struck it. Quote:
Off Center Strike With Collar Scar
PART VI. Striking Errors:
Off Center Strikes:
With Collar Scar
Definition: An off-center strike will often show a collar scar on the face struck by the anvil die. A collar scar is a semi-circular groove that lies lateral to the die-struck design and the location of the design rim. The collar scar is produced when the protruding portion of the off-center planchet is forced down upon the top of the collar by the descending hammer die. The strength and completeness of the collar scar varies considerably, and a significant fraction of off-center strikes show no collar scar at all. Still wondering why the rim is showing on this coin though? Edited by coop

Yes, great find!  I have never seen a off center with a rim like that though? |

Was the photo taken with the coin in a plastic holder? If so could you post new photos with the coin out of the holder?
