This is a forced misalignment with the presence of a stiff collar error. - - In short it occurred when the planchet was slightly off center and forced on the stiff collar. The high striking pressure caused a flange on the reverse, scrapped copper plating off the edge, and nudged the hammer die away from the stiff collar. The obverse crescent southeast is caused by the misalignment bc there is reduced resistant to the impact of the anvil die, and also due to the fact of the metal getting pushed away and dragged upward from the anvil die.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/17/2022 8:12 pm I'd just call this a partial collar example. Where the collar isn't, the metal expands larger because it is not inside of the collar: Now if the plating is missing on the edge area, then it might be a forced strike to put the coin into the collar. But with the partial collar showing, that may/may not be true with the forced seating of the planchet with the die, as it is still showing part of that area, with a slight expanding area of the partial collar. But great images. of this. Report this Post to the Staff

I don't think I could see a partial collar anymore with what mike said but also looking at the errorref example it makes sense to be that of forced misalignment. I did like your explanation and what u explained Report this Post to the Staff
