<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rascal, post: 1153502, member: 29239&quot;]Thanks for your reply . the rim was protected by the collar in every place except the small section of the top half of the coin from the T in trust and going counter clockwise in my photo over to near where the thin flange which is the outer part of the rim sticks up. I can easily see and you can also in one of my photos that something sharp clipped the top half of the coin off in this area before the strike and now part of the clip is filled in from the metal being pushed over into this small area by the die.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If I could not see the clipped area I would suspect that something had become lodged between the coin&#039;s rim and the collar before it was struck and pushed the coin&#039;s metal towarde the center because this is what it looks like. since the clipped area is easy to see then I have ruled this out because the clip would account for this area being smaller in diameter at the top part of the coin. all the rest of the coins rim is in perfect shape except this small area from the T in trust over to near the raised up flange of the top 1/3 or 1/2 of the top of the rim.If I can figure this one out it may be one of our most unusal coins ever.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
