Pics are blurry but it looks like a partial collar.

Might be a Partial Collar error.

Wasn't this discussed recently? A partial reeded collar would not have reeds? John1  |

@John1, I missed that conversation. But without being part of conversation it makes perfect sense.

The reeds are complete on the edge so the collar is not partial. Were this a struck on clad planchet then when it was ejected from the collar the copper core would have most likely smeared to cover more of a side of the edge than the other, which is not showing. My guess is tarnish from a holder.

Pictures of the edge are not clear.

Yes, sharper edge pics would help.

Looks like a partial collar. The area above the reeds should be missing the reeds, swelling out because of not being inside the collar.

Not seeing a partial collar. Reeds are evident all around obverse and reverse in the full coin shots.

The dark line is a horizontal seperation. It is sort of like an oreo cookie, the outside is raised and the cream is in the middle. The cream being the black line.   |

Then It looks normal. The first images looked like something else was going on.

It's definitely not normal. I'm not doing a good job at describing or pictures. The line is recessed.  |

I can't think of anything pre-strike or at the time of strike that could have left the edge in this condition. That only leaves something post strike
