Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75224 Posts	Posted 04/10/2019 7:41 pm I found this in a mixed circulated roll, from a bank box of U.S. Pennies. I think that this is a Partial Collar error? Am I right? Help would be appreciated. Too bad about the zinc rot though. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/10/2019 7:45 pm Looks more like a MAD coin. I'm not seeing a partial collar: Where the collar is, is where the metal is contained. I'm not seeing that on your coin. Note where the collar has reeds, they appear, where not in the collar, the metal is not contained. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75224 Posts	Posted 04/10/2019 7:47 pm Thank you Spence for your input! I have emailed Mike Diamond about this one, so he can weight in on it. Coop, are you sure it's a MAD? In the first picture, you can see the collar if you look closely. Errers and Varietys.

Spence Moderator United States 34447 Posts	Posted 04/10/2019 8:15 pm @E&V, of course whatever @MD says is what goes--I'm a pure amateur compared with him. With that said, I saw what you are talking about with that slight potential step on the edge. I was thinking that these were much more prominent when coins were struck partially in the collar. Either way, I'm interested to see the end result on this one.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75224 Posts	Posted 04/10/2019 8:20 pm I'll be waiting for him to respond. I think it might be a Partial Collar strike, but I am not 100% sure. There's slight stepping on the edge. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2740 Posts	Posted 04/10/2019 8:30 pm The coin does show a misaligned die error (MAD) toward the northeast. Even though the photo of the edge is inadequate for purposes of analysis, I suspect it does show a partial collar error. MADs and partial collar errors often go together, because the misaligned hammer die tends to force the collar down below the level of the coin's obverse face. Error coin writer and researcher.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75224 Posts	Posted 04/10/2019 8:39 pm Thank you Mike Diamond for your comment and input! I'll label it as both on the non PVC 2x2 flip. It's also good to know that both can occur at the same time. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
