We received this coin, with what appears to be a broken collar, but with a piece of metal sticking out of the side of the coin. Does anyone know what could have caused this error? Any help would be appreciated.   Edited by ame5057

Looks like damage with the rim distorted.

99.9% sure it post-mint damage but could you also post a pic of the reverse?

that looks more like damaged and broad struck(or a MAD)

 I see a miss aligned die along with post mint damage. Too bad you could not have found it earlier before the damage occurred. |

That's a genuine error coin. I am not sure exactly what it is, but it's not post mint damage. It appears to have something to do with Feeder Finger Damage that occurred on a coin that was broadstruck. |

I would really like to see a pic of the edge where the ROI (region of interest) is. If the adjacent edge looks scraped, then it was damaged after minting, probably being fed through a machine it didn't fit through properly because of the b/s or MAD it has. If the edge is not scraped, if it just has this protrusion, well I think that is less likely but I'm real curious about it.

It's a broadstrike that was damaged after the strike. That prong represents metal that was scraped off the edge.
