<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2543724, member: 66&quot;]On the closeups of the reverse, just above the U you can see the tips of the denticals.&nbsp; In the beveled area above the UN I see what look like squashed denticals (They show better in the image where the eagle is upright.)&nbsp; But the extreme outer edge from the N in NE to the T in UNIT, THOSE are reeds.&nbsp; If something were to hit the rim at an oblique angle&nbsp; it could cause that bevel and crushed denticals, push the edge out like that,and the force flatten the denticals on the obverse by mashing the rim of the coin against another flat surface.&nbsp; I can&#039;t see how they would be caused by a tilted partial collar.&nbsp; I could be wrong, but all I have to go on are the images.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only minting type error I can think of that would let a section extend out like that and still be reeded would be a broken collar where the collar cracked completely through in two places and the whole piece of the collar shifted outward.&nbsp; The lack of pressure as the metal expanded outward during the strike then MIGHT cause that distorted rim.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
