Guest Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 What causes a coin to have the reeding missing on just 1/3 of the coin? The coin in question is not an out of collar strike, an off center strike or misaligned dies. All answers welcome. Coinholeio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 I would think the easiest explanation would be a file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member: Seasoned Veteran DWLange Posted December 9, 2002 Member: Seasoned Veteran Share Posted December 9, 2002 If the missing portion is at the same height as the reeded portion, it may be the result of a collar cud or broken portion of the collar.

Guest Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 It looks like with each succesive reeding they disappear into a blank planchet and then the reeding starts to appear again with each succesive reeding. A very strange looking coin. It sort of looks like the reeding tapers into a blank and then tapers back into reading again. COINHOLEIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cladking Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Without seeing the coin I'm guessing it's clad and from misalligned dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 It is a 1996 P dime and it is not a misalligned die error. COINHOLEIO, KINGKOIN KING OF KOINS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cladking Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Perhaps a worn or bent collar. Worn doesn't seem likely in 1996 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
