Hi everybody, I found this 20c a few days. Have gone through a few coin groups I am in on Facebook. And it is all mixed, as to PMD or a genuine error. The coin weighs 11.34g. I also weighed a few other 20c and they weighed, sort of between 11.32-11.33g. The coin, tails side. Does seem slightly taller then a standard 20c. When side by side with a 20c, they line up together to the rim. When a standard coin is on top, the error coin is slightly larger in diameter. It is a real head scratch! Would anybody here be able to me please:)    |

 To the CCF Could you take a picture of the edge. May be a partial collar strike. |

I believe it isn't a partial collar. I found a 20c partial, and it is completely different. I am currently not at home. I have got alot of photos. But I am struggling, to try and get them uploaded on here.
If you have Facebook, I have posted in a couple of groups, with a fair few photos.
I will try and get better images when I am home. Or can send images via email if needed.

Hard to say from the photo but it looks like it was partially struck out of collar.

Someone did mention to me that it could be a collar engagement error? I am ised to seeing a lot of error coins that are PMD. But this one has me bamboozled, as well as other people who have seen images. I will try and get pics when I am home. I have a fair few on my phone. If any other photos are needed. I could try and get photos of what people would like to see, to make it easier   |

Yeah but I can't quite figure out how the details on the coin are fine, part of the rim is okay and the diameter is bigger - if half the collar was missing but I don't think that could happen.

@SAP Hmm, I have never seen one of those either. I might have to have a look at other coins similar. I am very knew to the world of coin collecting. About 12-16 months I have started collecting and noodling. But this particular coin has had some good discussions. On what it actually could be. I have been told things like, could be a bigger foreign planchet, that has created the die for the tails side and the rim & collar has just been miss machined. Coin has been lodged/syuck in a part of the minting process, and then has somehow been displaced and caused the error. Collar misangement error? Or, to just send it of to PCGS and see if they can come back with anything, although it would cost $120 to do that. But a few people, cant work out. How at the minting process could a coin like this get through the checks. Or someone has really done a good coin in a back shed, making it a rather spectacular PMD coin. |
