Hey all, just wondering if someone could tell me what a fair price to buy this for would be? It seems to be in good condition. Also what causes this? I vaguely remember a topic about this maybe but not too sure..
Collar didn't fully engage. I seem to recall there was a discussion about one of these on CCF a while back. Could be worth a search.
It's a partial collar. I'm a little out of touch with errors like that but I'd value it at $50-$100.
"Straight, partial collar". Partial Straight Collar (http://www.australian-threepence.com/blog/2009/05/out-of-collar-or-partial-collar-coin-errors.html)
Rim collar not properly in place. Often one or both faces will show a high degree of offset too.
This type of error often fetches $50 or more.

Thanks for linking to the blog. I thought about looking for the right article but the search engine on the site is awful. Whoever is their technical guy should really fix it up:dodgy:
Any chance of weighing the coin before I make comment. All my out of collar errors have curved, clean rims and not square as per the scans.

You suspicious goldy, you! :)
The flat part of the edge is not sticking out further than the reeded part as it should. This is similar to that 5c that erikp posted a while back. I dont think its a genuine partial collar for that reason. If it was then i would have expected the part of the edge where the collar didnt engage to be wider, in this case its the opposite.

I agree with Goldie and enworb on this one, the large difference between the two levels on the edge is way too much to my way of thinking. ? Shed jobbie I think. Bummer!
You know I didn't notice that. Good eyes fellas. A weight would be good.
I will ask for a weight.. I've gotta remember to ask these questions to people before I post up here, I will though, I will lol
Thanks for your feedback
