I will need your help to confirm the error of this coin. At first, I was thinking that this is a "Struck Through a Late Stage Die Cap". But when I take a look at the edge, there's a small lip almost all around the circumference. So now I have a doupt. It's the first time I'm seeging this lip on this kind of error. The weight is 3.20 g. Thanks for your help.     Edited by SP67

Is that Reverse another example of a Rorschach test, where you have to guess what the ink blot looks like to you?

I don't know two much about these errors but it looks like one side of the coin was vary harshly wizzed pushing metal(including the rim outwards) is the side of the coin with the lip also the obverse?
Edit spelling.

Often there is collar issues associated with capped dies. I think yours is a very nice example of a coin struck by a late stage cap.

I was just going to say that it was struck partially out of collar causing that lip
and scrolled down and saw that johnysprawl beat me to it.
In any case, nice find and in excellent condition.

Thank you to all of you. That makes sense. So the exact description of this error shall be: "Struck through a late stage die cap with a partial collar". @okiecoiner Quote:

Additional information.
The date is missing. I tried to see something, but there's no evidence.
But we know that the period is between 1953 - 1964 (SF).

With these types of errors, a date would add much value, but still cool !

Often there is collar issues associated with capped dies. I think yours is a very nice example of a coin struck by a late stage cap.  with this 100% The cap is thin enough for some indirect metal transfer so you see elements of the hammer die design, but not thin enough that you can decipher the date. If you rotate the capped die strike side of the coin about 20 degrees CCW, you can also see the faint, enlarged outline of the Queen's forehead, chin, and neck as a weak mirror brockage. I don't think yours is a partial collar however. Remember your planchet is getting pressed between the dies, plus a die cap. Notice how fully struck the obverse side is, including the nice, square rim. The collar strike on your coin was full. It is the excess metal (cap) between the dies that adds extra pressure to your coin, and the metal being forced against the collar has to go somewhere. This is also how you sometimes get rim finning on partial brockages and indent strikes. I would call your coin: "Struck through a late stage die cap" "Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.
