It's a partial collar error. Nice find.

 

Looks like a partial collar

 

Thanks gents, didn't know what to call that one.

 

Doesn't look like a partial collar to me. looks more like Post strike damage.

 

post-strike damage

 

Probably from an Encased jewelry piece at some point. I had Fred Weinberg look at this one in hand in Chicago this past August and its an old encased coin.

Conder and Mike D have spoken, post strike damage it is.
