pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 08/29/2015 7:40 pm It is a slight mad on both sides. Since the design is complete on both sides it carries no premium. Report this Post to the Staff
Slamnbass Pillar of the Community United States 3644 Posts	Posted 08/29/2015 7:50 pm Rim is affected at the same areas both sides-it is minor but wouldn't that make it slight off center? Both sides misaligned in same area? I'm asking not stating Edited by Slamnbass 08/29/2015 7:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 08/29/2015 8:14 pm No, it is possible to have a mad on both sides. I think this is a common misconception. An off centered error is struck out of the collar so the diameter would be oversize and the edge would not be fully formed. This coin appears to be the correct diameter so it was struck with it's edge formed by the collar. Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 08/29/2015 11:13 pm After Pete2226 pointed out wide collars a few weeks ago, which refreshed my memory, has me wondering here? http://www.error-ref.com/wide-collar/ Thanks, Doug.

Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 08/30/2015 08:33 am For it to be a wide collar, I believe that it must also show vertical collar cracks and that the diameter should measure larger than normal. Report this Post to the Staff
lawest Pillar of the Community United States 1998 Posts	Posted 08/30/2015 09:04 am Diameter appears normal... 18.9 to 19mm all the way around Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 08/30/2015 10:11 am I may be wrong, but thought if the collar is cracked would be one way for the die to widen. Then evidence of that would show on the rim. My thoughts were of a more subtle form of widening that could be achieved from the constant pressure from retaining struck planchets / coins over and over for a long period of time. That and other mechanical forms of stress and wear could lead to die fatigue (widening) without cracking. Thanks, Doug edit: That said I would think the diameter would reflect that, which is not the case here. Edited by Halo1st 08/30/2015 10:21 am Report this Post to the Staff
