<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1237240, member: 11521&quot;]What you are describing is most likely several MADs (misaligned dies). Is one side a bit off center and the other side pretty much perfectly centered? If so they are MADs. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Gladly. Coins do not have collars. What I think you are talking about is the &#039;rim&#039;. (The collar is part of the press that strikes the coin. The planchet is placed in the collar between two dies and struck. The collar is the third die and keeps the coin from expanding more than desired during the striking process. The collar also imparts an edge design - smooth, reeded, lettered, etc.) </p><p><br /></p><p>How uploading a good photo so we can see what you are talking about?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
