A collar intended for a different (perhaps foreign) denomination is inadvertently installed in a press.</p><p>2. A smooth-faced collar is mistakenly machined too wide.</p><p>3. A reeded collar is widened beyond normal tolerances through the use of an incorrect ridged broach that is</p><p>hammered into the collar opening.</p><p>4. A normal collar is not replaced in a timely manner and widens due to prolonged use.</p><p>5. The presence of three or more vertical collar cracks allows the collar to expand.The last two circumstances are probably the most common causes of this error.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.error-ref.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/72169606.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.error-ref.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/72169631.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.error-ref.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/72169637.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This 1918 cent was struck in a collar that expanded due to the presence of four vertical collar cracks.&nbsp; Its diameter</p><p>measures 19.45 mm instead of the normal 19.05 mm.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.error-ref.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/72169644.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.error-ref.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/72169661.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The above 1999-P dime was struck in an abnormally wide collar. The diameter of this dime measures 18.24 mm instead of the normal 17.91 mm.&nbsp; It’s likely that the collar expanded due to the relentless pounding involved in restraining hundreds of thousands of <a href="http://www.error-ref.com/blank-or-planchet-2/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.error-ref.com/blank-or-planchet-2/" rel="nofollow">planchets.&nbsp; </a>The edge is slightly convex in vertical cross-section, which is consistent with this scenario.&nbsp; This dime also shows a case of <a href="http://www.error-ref.com/surface-film-effects/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.error-ref.com/surface-film-effects/" rel="nofollow">surface film transfer</a> on the obverse face.&nbsp; This type of error occurs when the preceding coin is double struck with movement between strikes.&nbsp; If either the coin or the die is grimy, a shadow image of the first strike is transferred to the die face and then transferred back to the next planchet.</p><p><br /></p><p>For more information on wide collar errors see the May 17, 2010 Coin World.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.error-ref.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.error-ref.com/" rel="nofollow">Home</a></p><ul> <li><a href="http://www.error-ref.com/introduction-to-this-website/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.error-ref.com/introduction-to-this-website/" rel="nofollow">Introduction To This Website</a></li> </ul><p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.error-ref.com/error-ref_com_news/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.error-ref.com/error-ref_com_news/" rel="nofollow">Error-ref.com News</a></li> </ul><p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.error-ref.com/error_and_variety_check_list/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.error-ref.com/error_and_variety_check_list/" rel="nofollow">Comprehensive Error-Variety Checklist</a></li> </ul><p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.error-ref.com/index-of-entries/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.error-ref.com/index-of-entries/" rel="nofollow">Index Of Completed Entries</a></li> </ul><p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.error-ref.com/part-i-die-subtypes/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.error-ref.com/part-i-die-subtypes/" rel="nofollow">Part I.
