Lay another coin on top of it and see if this one is slightly larger. LINK https://www.error-ref.com/wide-collar/ -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/13/2023 1:12 pm The coin is pretty well beat up. So it is were something, the damage would cancel out any premium for this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97433 Posts	Posted 04/13/2023 2:57 pm This is a MAD Strike. (Mis-Aligned Die) and the 'second rim' looks to be a Rim Fin where the metal moved up from between the collar and the die. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 574 Posts	Posted 04/13/2023 3:17 pm The upset mill puts a rim on the coin before it's struck, and there's a rim on the die as part of the design, so when a planchet is struck with a misaligned die that second die based rim shows up, misaligned with the already present rim, which is what you're seeing here, rather than a Rim Fin. On the reverse at K9 you can see the effects of the misalignment as well. Since the reverse shows a weaker second rim you may also have a slightly tilted die. Report this Post to the Staff
