I can't quite wrap my head around a processionals that would result in this sort of "reeded edge enclosing reeded edge" without distorting the reciprocal edge. Very interested in the wisdom of your experience. * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! * Report this Post to the Staff

Someone else should be able to explain exactly how this happens, but I am not that person. Good luck! Edited by QuarterHoarder72 10/13/2020 10:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Seguedad New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 10/13/2020 10:53 pm Many thanks. That's how it was listed, but I couldn't see a broadstruck aspect to it. That makes more sense, to the process for creating this baffles me. Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 10/13/2020 11:01 pm to the CCF! if it were broadstruck the coin would have a smooth edge and be larger in diameter than a normal dime. Collar Clash is caused by damage to the rim gutter of the die from contact with the collar's reeded design. The obverse die struck the collar's reeding and transferred some of that pattern to the rim gutter area. This could have happened long before your coin was struck. Your coin looks like it's slightly misaligned and this allowed the damaged rim with the "extra" design picked up in the clash to transfer that same pattern to your coin. This can be found on lots of coins, but most aren't as pronounced as the clash seen above. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Edited by Yokozuna 10/13/2020 11:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
