pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 04/09/2010 8:13 pm Something pushed in on the coin at this part of the edge. You can see some of the original reeding still there on the edge and on the obverse at this area of the rim you can see where the metal is pushed up. It is post mint damage.

numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 04/10/2010 09:47 am . If you found a proof in circulation it's a good bet for post mint damage. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 04/26/2010 12:09 pm If the flat part was even or higher than the highest point of the reeding and the feature was present on both sides, then it would have been a tilted partial collar strike. You can also have an error where the collar was only engaged on the top or bottom portion of the coin in a straight line, this is also a partial collar strike and is commonly referred to as a "railroad rim" because it extends out from the reeding like a steel train rail.
