Hello! Still new to the site, thought I'd share a very cool one I just picked up last week. I could use some help getting the terminology straight. I think it's a wide collar with several rim Cuds, but I find some of the collar errors tricky to differentiate. There also appears to be some odd uneven wear with a triangular void beneath the eagle I'd appreciate some insight into. Thanks!      |

I'm thinking that what you're seeing is from mostly normal circulation wear and tear. The reverse could be showing a weak strike or a Grease Filled Die issue. The rim could just be showing rim bumps. Errers and Varietys.

Just for grins and giggles I would weigh the coin.

I agree about weighing the coin. When I enlarge your image it does appear to be collar Cuds. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Thanks for the welcome and all the replies! Here's some more close ups of the rim, sorry I couldn't get a better shot with less glare. There is no visible damage/dings in the reeded edge. I did find a small die crack going to an "L" in "Dollar" that I hadn't noticed before. It also weighs in light at 5.7g, I don't have a 100th scale, but that seems significant regardless. Measures 0.960" to 0.962" in diameter using dial calipers.     Edited by MintedNotPrinted

to CCF. This looks like a mild MAD strike with a Rim Fin. |

I was thinking Rim Fin, too, along with a couple of rim dings. |

Thanks for the welcome and input, Dearborn!
Agreed on the finning. Is the appearance of the rim of the obverse the same? That side had me stumped in comparison to the reverse.
I'll have to see if I can get a better image, then I promise I'll rest my case! The small crack connects to a nodule of excess material for instance, it doesn't look dinged and shifted upward.
As for it being genuine, I picked this out of a junk silver bulk bin for melt, so I have no reason to suspect anything foul. I promise you I'm not trolling here, I didn't want to lead with how I got it, I just got extremely lucky!
Edited to say thank you to all who've replied!

Marve65, very fair!
The particular place it was purchased has little to no care for numismatics. On the day I purchased it, it looked like someone had dumped a quarter album in the bin, nearly a full spread of dates from 1932 to 64.
Even if unbelievable... I routinely pull silver from their foreign bulk bin as well, no upcharge at checkout.

Having never sent a coin for grading, and not having a local store with experience, would you send this one were it yours? I think I need to for peace of mind now!
No offense taken either by the way, I didn't think you were knocking my credibility when I added context, I get what you're saying. I'm just terrible at talking online. I find it unbelievable myself.
