<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 7843616, member: 1859&quot;]This is not a partial collar error or any other kind of error.&nbsp; This is post-strike damage.&nbsp; By 2005, virtually all business strikes were struck with inverted dies (reverse die as hammer die).&nbsp; So if this was a partial collar error, you&#039;d see a horizontal flange without reeds sticking out next to the reverse face.&nbsp; Here we see a normal reeded edge next to the reverse face and a recessed edge without reeds next to the obverse face.&nbsp; A coining press cannot produce a recessed edge regardless of the die setup.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
