    Not for nothing Mike but the coins you posted look nothing like the ops coin/ I still feel there is no explantion for this coin, as of yet .And these coins are blanks not a rosie dime

    I think they look more like this coin i posted authentic partial collar strikes. Jazzcoins Joe

    Why would they? The OP's coin is a struck coin, where as these are planchets. They look a tad bit different when struck.

    And here's an edge-on comparison between a dime planchet with a rather flat edge and one with a strongly beveled edge:

    The planchet on the bottom is the same one as seen at top.[/quote]

    Looks to me like a pretty clear explaination on this one. Thanks:hammer:

    That looks nothing like the OP coin. To me Conder101 and Mike nailed this one. The planchet I have in my hand is a match to the OP coin. Same beveled edges. With a soft strike it would be an exact match.

    Sorry Jazzcoins. I got mixed up and my fingers were typing before my brain was in gear. One thing for sure, it's an interesting topic.

    Joe - this pic that you posted, that looks more like an encased cent to me, not a partial collar strike. The groove in the middle of the edge is typical of an encased coin that has been removed from its casement.

    GDJMSP is right. The edge shown is that of an encased, or "lucky token" cent. An edge like the rim of a bicycle wheel is characteristic.

    I did get this off a site which said it was a partial collar strike can't remember what site unless they gave the wrong info you never know ,sometimes you can't trust the internet


    I know this thread has gone a long way GD the only thing that i;m saying ,the coins that Mike posted just don;t look like the op's coin. I don't like to question Mike I know his reputation in the field, but like i said i just don't see the resembalence of his coins ,to the op's coin that's all i'm saying.

    You also stated in you post you never seen a coin like the op's coin and neither did I in the 40 years I have been collecting, kind of odd don;t you think.

    I'm just not satisfied with the conclusion on thie op's coin.

    That is correct Joe, I never have. But there are a lot of things in this hobby that I have never seen before, even after almost 50 years. But then I am not into errors, never have been, and because of that I don't look for them or at them. To me, an error coin is a damaged coin and I have no interest in damaged coins. I always wanted to collect coins that were the way the mint intended them to be, not the ones they screwed up on.

    Joe, I am one of those people who questions anybody and everybody, regardless if they are supposed to be an expert or not. In my profession, if I see something that doesn't look right to me and I don't question it - people die. So I question it every single time even though the person or persons I am questioning has 6 to 8 years of university study and several degrees behind them and they ARE experts. And I'll tell ya what, even experts make mistakes and every single time I have ever questioned one I end up being right.

    But in this case I think Mike is 100% right. The edge of the planchet he pictured is exactly like the edge of the OP's dime. It's as plain as day to me. Just imagine the beveled edge of that planchet that Mike posted having reeding on it and it's a dead ringer.

    And BTW - I wouldn't trust whatever site you got that pic from anymore. That's an encased cent pal, not a collar error.

    Welcome to CT. I think your question has been answered in the previous pages. But if you want to be sure you need to create your own post as this one was 13 years old. Clear, focused and cropped photos of both sides and close ups of the edge/rim
