There is a tiny amount of reeding on part of the rim facing the obverse, so I assume the obverse was the anvil die here. There is also a tiny bit of reeding in two lines on the face of the tail side, which I assume there was a collar clash which contributed to the collar jamming, and possibly multiple strikes. The coin is also cupped slightly toward the reverse. This is the only bit of reeding on the edge - you can also see how it's curved/cupped: Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 09/11/2011 09:42 am There's not enough reeding to categorize this as a partial collar error. Many broadstrikes -- centered and uncentered -- show a slight reeding trace from grazing the top of the collar. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/14/2011 10:49 am I'd call it an uncentered broadstrike and not off-center because none of the coin design is missing. Report this Post to the Staff
