    I found this in a roll today. I think it is a MAD or is it PMD? Does it add any value?

    Looks like a partial collar error with post-strike damage to the horizontal flange.

    Partial collar strike, also known as a railroad rim from it's resemblance to the wheel of a railroad car. This is a very nice example. The first picture of the edge does show some PMD from a counting machine.

    Is a partial collar a form of a broadstrike? and does this add any value to the coin?

    You might call it a broadstrike wannabe. On a broadstrike the collar is missing completely (The collar is stuck in a jammed down position and the face of the anvil die is flush with the top surface of the collar.) On a partial collar strike the collar is jammed in a down position put the face of the anvil die is BELOW the top surface of the collar. This means that the planchet is partial constrained by the collar but it also extends above the top surface of the collar. When the coin is struck it tries to spread out and part is held by the collar, while the hammer side spreads out over the top of the collar.

    In a tilted partial collar only one side of the collar is jammed down.
