tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 12/26/2016 3:58 pm This quarter has what I believe is an indent with brokage (there is a distinct mirrored incuse image of reverse design in the indent). The other side is remarkably normal so I am guessing: Partial indent with brokage. Does the term "uniface" apply to this coin as well since only one side is affected? There is also a bit of mild weirdness around the obverse rim, but I am assuming this is because of the effects from the creation of the indent. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/26/2016 6:42 pm I see a partial collar on the edge of the coin struck. Looks like I the word mirrored 'DOLLAR'. So this maybe a previous struck coin that didn't get out of the chamber and fell into the strike that was a partial collar. Not sure what to call that? Report this Post to the Staff
