sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 09/04/2020 8:56 pm I am in two minds about this coin. 1) It could be a partial collar error, or 2) the coin may have taken a horizontal hit in the edge = damage. The reason for either of these two cases being possible is due to the 1) varying width of the upturned rim seen in the picture of the reverse or 2) the variation of the thickness of the coin at the location in question. Would need to examine it more closely with a high powered loupe. Report this Post to the Staff
Bas S Warwick Pillar of the Community New Zealand 526 Posts	Posted 09/04/2020 9:16 pm . Thanks for the reply Sel. I'm favoring something like 'struck outside collar' - thinking it might be unusual to inflict that type of 1/2 rim damage post mint. If you have a copy of Rennicks Australian errors check P112 for something similar. Photos going off to Ian McConnelly for his evaluation. . Report this Post to the Staff

silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 09/05/2020 7:50 pm i believe it happened after the coin was minted, just for the fact the edge is bulged out.. If it was a faulty blank before the strike, it wouldn't protrude after the strike.. Report this Post to the Staff

His book is very useful for Aussie errors. Interestingly his email is still accepting mail, but no reply from anyone so far. Report this Post to the Staff
