I got an incised millennium 50 cents in the mail today.
On closer inspection I noticed that it is an off centre or out of collar
Strike.
It is slightly off centre and one side of the coin has a raised lip.
It isn't a huge lip but it is Definately there.
I am travelling at the moment, I will see if I can post some pics
When I get to Perth :ok:

Incised sounds like someone tried to chew on it. Looking forward to pics.

Crappy pics, As promised.
It is only a small ridge but it is there and easy to feel :ok:
The coin is fatter as well on the ridged side.

Sorry trout, nothing too remarkable there.  The edge is just the coin metal squeezing it's way in between the die and the collar.  Might be because a slightly off-center die or a loose collar but it's certainly not out of collar or what I'd call a mis-strike.
