This coin exhibits a split-level edge where the obverse (hammer die strike) has expanded larger than the reverse (anvil die strike). This occurs when the collar jams on the shaft of the anvil die at a position where only part of the planchet is contained in the collar. Care should be taken not to confuse this error with a coin that has been damaged by being forced into a “lucky” coin holder. The partial collar strike has two distinct diameters. </font></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
