Wow! Common. Been through tons and haven't noticed this before. Probably should pay more attention to the edge. Is this an error?
You should be able to find a handful in every box you search. Keep the most significant and spend the rest.
Exceptional pictures AmberLarry. Nice conversation piece, it's a keeper in my opinion. Thanks for the post. Keep-um-coming!
I would have to look to see if I kept any. But 1986 P is the most prevalent date I recall. I remember finding a bunch of those over the years. Edit: Found an old photo, so I may have kept a coin or two
Now that you see it...you'll keep seeing it. The one I am looking for is one with a narrow rib around the circumference, like bulging icing on an Oreo cookie. I saw a picture of one like that and thought it might have been a lucky penny or pendent coin. I'd be curious to know if others have identified 1986 as a particularly notable date for the collar error.
