Found a nice 2001P North Carolina Off Center Quarter with Missing Reeding. It is off center less than 1% more or less. I am not sure if its common for off center coins to have the reeds missing on the coin. Enjoy. The white spot on Georges Bust a smuge of some kind. It came off .

Broadstruck error, not off center.
.
or pmd?
i've seen a lot of these minor mads and seemingly reedless quarters as of late and even a couple halves with no obvious increase in diameter.
have you seen b/s coins w/o increase to diameter?
Is it possible the misaligned die caused the reeded collar to be kept lowered during striking?
.
you start getting into partial/tilted collars.
to answer your actual inquiry, i could be mistaken but i find it highly unlikely either of the dies or both together could keep the collar from the coin w/o some other factor(s). now if the collar is moved for whatever reason, into the path of the dies, then the dies can cause some weird things to start happening but i'm pretty sure the majority of the collar-related errors will be caused by flans or other external objects and perhaps it can get out of plumb and become jammed/cracked/chipped/broken etc. due to the pressure of the dies. something along those lines.

It's a partial collar (although barely--almost a broadstrike) because it still has reeding on the edge. The coin didn't expand much in size because the collar was still partially in place to retain the planchet. Nice find.

based on what others are saying, nice find.
a good teachable moment about errors that are probably slipping through the cracks. i'll link this thread in the roll searching one.
as a side-note, i find it odd that with the amount of pressure to strike these, with a 80-90+% missing collar, depending on the tilt of it, that we wouldn't get a super railroad rim at least.
i can for sure, obviously, see the collar contact as it kinda looks like a collar clash but on the edge in lieu of the rim.
any commentary about how the metal can stay in place with the collar mostly out of place?
