The bottom of the letters are undefined because of the metal flow during the broadstrike. With the collar in place the metal has no choice but to flow up into the dies under pressure from the strike; without a colar it takes the path of least resistance which is out from between the dies instead of up into the letters.

What he said. Nice example with attractive metal flow.

nice coin - when you get it, look at it closely


I bought a quarter once and it was double struck making it look like a broadstrike,
but the second strike was post mint damage

the outer section was much thinner than the rest and I could see the ring where they punched


I need an explanation on how reeding got there - and then perfectly centered next strike
