Gutkowski Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 01/08/2011 7:43 pm Just found this one in a CWR the rim is not there ,the cent has the normal thickness to it but tapers off at the rim on both sides . What do you think is the cause to this ? Thanks in advance, Matt- Edited by Gutkowski 01/08/2011 9:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 01/08/2011 7:56 pm Looks like a partial collar strike to me, but definitely wait for other opinions. I believe this happens when the "normal" part of the rim is retained by the collar, but the "wider" part was above it. Are these and broadstrikes one in the same? Report this Post to the Staff

rh13 Valued Member United States 465 Posts	Posted 01/08/2011 11:28 pm Is that what is reffered to as a "train wheel effect" on the rim,and if so the partial collar strike causes this? Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 01/09/2011 12:09 am Could have been struck with the end of a socket spanner ( PMD), or without a collar (error). As I understand it, when a blank is converted into a planchet, A rim is put on the edge, and perhaps this has been flattened during the collarless strike. Report this Post to the Staff

clairhardesty Pillar of the Community United States 1027 Posts	Posted 01/09/2011 1:56 pm I'm with Mike on this one, it looks hammered. The socket idea is plausable but definetly post mint damage in my opinion. The fracturing all around and the hard slope at the rim doesn't look to me like anything the mint would produce.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/09/2011 10:45 pm I wondered if the tops of the Motto we enlarged, but they are just flattened. PMD. Sorry for the extra images. Report this Post to the Staff
