Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 06/28/2023 4:16 pm to the CCF As Spence said, pics of the edge are needed. Might be a partial collar strike. But I'm thinking sanded down. Report this Post to the Staff
Rainman1 Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 06/28/2023 4:51 pm Thanks for everyone's input. my first thought was Dryer Coin. When I noticed the partial reeding I wanted to see if it failed any tolerances but it is with in spec. ie 2.2g, diameter, etc. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 06/28/2023 6:30 pm Quote: Might be a partial collar strike. But I'm thinking sanded down. Yes @cuj that comment of yours was prescient. Based on this most recent pic, I agree that the partial reeding is also due to heavy mechanical wear rather than a mint error.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 06/28/2023 7:58 pm With the edge pic, I'm going to say sanded. With a partial collar there would have been a distinct line between the reeds and the smooth half of the edge and I don't think it would have went all around the coin. The reeds have been sanded.
