Dearborn Moderator United States 96112 Posts	Posted 03/04/2023 08:58 am looks like a partial collar to me too. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

NEWmrMatic Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 03/04/2023 09:00 am Educate me. How can it be a partial collar if both the Observe and reverse both show a somewhat normal collar? Report this Post to the Staff
NEWmrMatic Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 03/04/2023 09:02 am I say weigh it. looks more like extra material on half of the collar. Edited by NEWmrMatic 03/04/2023 09:08 am Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/04/2023 5:06 pm Partial collar. Where the metal is not contained by the collar, the area out of the collar will expand. Now circulated, the coin has some circulation damage on the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

How can it be a partial collar if both the Observe and reverse both show a somewhat normal collar? They don't show a normal "collar" or a normal rim. The OP's images are slightly tilted but show the difference between the rims on the reverse. John1's link explains it pretty well. BTW- The question was a little confusing. "Collar" is a numismatic term referring to one of the three dies used to strike modern coins. (ie: the planchet was resting on the collar when it was struck.) Numismatic terminology can be confusing, and it may seem trivial, but the more precise it is, the more help we can be with the answers. The part of the coin formed by the collar die is referred to as the edge (reeded, plain, etc). The outer portion of the obverse and reverse dies are referred to as the die gutter, which forms the rim of the coin once it is struck. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
