Rim Error?

[brokencompass]

Hi,

I am not sure if this is an error and if it is an error it is an error type that NGC attributes.

 

This coin has some metal missing on its edge, the coin is also a few grams heavier than it's brothers.

If it were a (very) minor clip, you would think you'd see some weakness in the strike along the rim (opposite) on the same side (Blakesley Effect). I'm leaning toward PMD, but maybe someone else has another explanation.

Looks like a possible lamination separation, just can't quite from the photo.

Could be a jagged clip?

It looks like that, a small clip. Note the broken collar. Note that opposite the broken collar is where the collar struck wide.

Yes, ragged clip.

Thanks Folks! But I am confused about the weight though. If it is clipped, isn't it supposed to weigh less? This coin weighs more.

 

Would NGC grade this as a clipped planchet?

How much more does it weigh? You said a few GRAMS but I find that hard to believe.

My bad! it is not a few grams off, it is less than 1/2 a gram off. The weight of a 1906 copper 1/4 anna has a variance from 6.42 to 6.56 grams. This one weights 6.92 grams.
