1984 RIM error

[MattGold]

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.

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.

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
