[QUOTE="Sam Stone, post: 4321974, member: 110020"]I honestly do pray that you guys and your loved ones stay healthy and safe. Many of you by name. Forgive my laziness, but you keep telling me to ask questions and I trust your answers far more than my faulty and confusing research. So........., I keep seeing coin after coin after coin (mostly recent cents) with little or no collar. Usually they don't look like the strike is off center, but the collar is goobered. Sometimes one side of the collar (N, S, E, W) is missing, then on the next coin it's the opposite side. Sometimes it's only on the obverse or reverse, sometimes it's both.

There's so much going on with this part of the coin from one to another I would like to understand it better. I'm trying to get better at photos and I could post some that would show what I'm asking, but I'm still struggling getting the lighting correct. Stay safe and healthy, and thanks for any input.[/QUOTE]
