The partial collar is more important than the die cracks. It is a nice error. having two of them is even better:-) Bill   10-26-2009, 06:11 PM   #3 (permalink) Jasonb Member   Join Date: May 2009 Posts: 64 Thanks for the information on the coins. I hadn't heard of the partial collar before. I kept both.

FYI; Partial Collar Error Coins Also called railroad rim, this error occurs when the coin blank partially falls in the retaining collar, giving the rim a step lip. __________________ An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.
