CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 05/08/2016 6:42 pm I read a post on here not too long ago about a die with an eroded edge due to an off-set with the collar. At least I think that's what I read. Is that what this is? Is it called a Collar Clash? Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCollector2000 Pillar of the Community United States 2563 Posts	Posted 05/08/2016 7:40 pm You're gonna see a lot of these. Not a collar strike. Seems to be a LDS coin / a zinc that has some serious plating issues. No premium Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 05/09/2016 09:52 am Thanks CC, but I don't think this is just LDS. I found the other post I was referring to. This comment was in it. Quote: This is a die attrition error. The edge of the field portion of the die was worn away when a temporarily misaligned obverse (hammer) die smacked repeatedly against the beveled entrance of the collar. I believe that applies here. I could be wrong, another opinion might be helpful. Edited by CoinMasters 05/09/2016 09:53 am Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 05/09/2016 09:59 am I'm thinking Die Deterioration. The devices are thinning a bit as well. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 05/09/2016 4:42 pm If the defect of interest is the low ridge that cuts through AMERICA, this is a form of Die Deterioration. There's no evidence of a die attrition error on either face. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
Linda Falcon New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 05/09/2016 5:08 pm Here is an updated and upclose image of one of the marks on my 1964 Kennedy half dollar. This one happens to be behind Kennedys neck. We placed a paper over the coin and rubbed a pencil lead over it and the marks appear to definitely be raised Report this Post to the Staff

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 05/09/2016 7:47 pm I re-read the post on Die Attrition. It's when the die hit the collar, wearing away the edge of the die, creating a "wider rim" on the coin. My coin still has the edge of the die, affording a normal rim. The Die Deterioration on my coin seems to have affected the edge of the die mostly at AMERICA It appears as if the planchet metal was "rushing" towards the edge where the die was worn. I think I have it right now, if not, constructive criticism is more than welcome. Report this Post to the Staff
