Your pictures didn't get any better by changing to a different forum.

Anyway the pressure was high on the press that struck this coin.

vud,

Make mine with extra cheese and mushrooms! Also, does that come with a side order of breadsticks? Just kidding!:goofer:

It appears to me a partial collar (railroad) strike!

This was answered on another forum this way; That looks like an ex-encasement piece of some sort. It's not a mint-borne error. Something was done to crimp in the edges causing the metal to fan outward, which curled the rims inward making the coin appear to have higher relief. But it's not an error, it's damage.

 

Well lets see what others say now since i helped the op with his pics

I don't see much change in the pics. :kewl:

 

Well I hope this helps you rock dude because there;s a difference in the pics and this is not a quizz either.
