tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 03/13/2018 1:54 pm Just putting some error coins in slips and realized I wasn't exactly sure of the label on this and could use some verification from the error folks. Is this an indent w/ partial collar or an indent w/ partial tilted collar? The mushroom effect on the edge is the same all around showing no tilting, but when I look at the coin from above and at the "tilted" effect on the indent at the rim I just don't know. Trying to label correctly so would appreciate some help on this one. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 03/13/2018 2:06 pm May be wrong, but seems struck through a second planchet creating a unifaced indent strike, which most likely contributed to the partial collar. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 03/13/2018 2:36 pm That sounds good. Much better than what I was putting it at but I'm a varieties guy and always need help with these nutty error coins. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/14/2018 5:41 pm An interesting question would be, "what was the other planchet"? The curvature of the indent appears to be too small to have been a cent planchet, possibly a dime planchet? A foreign planchet? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/14/2018 8:10 pm I'm thinking it was a cent. You should be able to put one in that space easily. Edited by coop 03/14/2018 8:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 03/14/2018 8:37 pm I had never really even thought about that. So while it would still be my assumption that it was a cent planchet just tilted to make the curve look wrong, it is a rather tight curve. Here is a cent and dime overlay for what it's worth (11 cents, I know). Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/14/2018 8:41 pm TB, the pressure of the stamp without the restraint of a collar, would elongate the blank planchet/coin that was on top. Note the bottom how it egg shapes. Also note the slicing of downward motion, this goes hand in hand with a stretching. I'm guessing it was a planchet, no image transfer, rim intact. I'd like to see THAT planchet, it would be a uniface...and smeared. Edited by Crazyb0 03/14/2018 8:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
