    I'm pretty sure this is a MAD Strike, but it stuck out to me for some reason and I wanted to share and confirm. I usually look at Lincoln cents and I'm not used to seeing such an unusual rim; I admit there is a knowledge gap here for me with dimes. Thanks for the feedback.

    Meaning? Do you think it's a MAD?

    I've looked at it carefully and thinking MAD on both sides... It's a rare occurrence.

    Thanks. I haven't seen too many dimes with a significant MAD. Is that rim on the reverse what a more pronounced MAD looks like? I know MADs aren't irregular, but this one stood out to me.

    That's the first thing I looked for and didn't find neither.

    I put some arrows to the most notable area of what left of the collar clash .

    Here's an article from Error Ref on a collar clash .
    http://www.error-ref.com/collar-clash/

    I guess it also could be caused from this quote from the article .

    " When collar clash occurs on the anvil die, it is probably from a repeated up-and-down scraping action of the die neck against the working face of the collar. However, a sharp sideways impact that drives the die neck into the collar’s working face could also produce this pattern of serrations ".

    @paddyman98 agreed
    @Rick Stachowski I looked at that area closely, I don't think those are serrations from the collar; it just looks a little funny. It's more or less smooth in hand.

    Any idea which error would affect the edge of the coin?

    Here's the edge @Rick Stachowski pointed at, it's been smoothed out from the strike.

    Other side of the edge seems normal:

    That would be a Partial Collar strike.

    Haha, okay, that's what I thought you meant but wasn't sure. Whatever the error turns out to be, I think this one's a keeper :)
