He sees it, how did I almost miss it?!?
Another awesome coin roll hunting find! 🔥 And guess what? Not the first this week! (More on that soon.)
This one had me doing a double-take! At first glance it might look like a few other errors, but this is a collar die clash strike—the first one I’ve ever come across! While I won’t be retiring just yet, every time I discover something new it feels like a jackpot.
So, what’s a collar clash strike? 🤔
Also known as a railroad rim (on reeded coins), this happens when the die partially strikes the top edge of the collar die, causing an indentation. When that same die strikes a coin, it creates what looks like a double rim.
This is a first for me—what about you? Have you ever found one while coin roll hunting? Let me know! Happy hunting! 🔍💰
