Well that is different... I have a box full of these (My Mom saved them for a long time) and did not see anything like that among them. Neat find... Cheers, RickO
Pretty dang cool.

Interesting error; added to my list to look for- Cool!
Here's some info on Stiff Collar Strike .
http://www.error-ref.com/stiff-collar-strike/
I starting to think it's a Elliptical Strike Clips .
Just click the link inside of the Stiff Collar Strike, to see images and some info too ..
Is there a clearer, short descriptive title for this? If this is a less extreme instance of "Elliptical Strike Clip" then they should have related names..... Just a thought.
Where possible - including using better names for numismatic things - a name should be unique, and convey factual information about the thing or method of making the thing being labeled.
I would call that a partial collar / railroad rim error.
It is not an elliptical clip error.
It's a stiff collar strike for sure, which is caused from a off-center .
If there's missing weight, then it's a Elliptical ..
I have never heard the term "stiff collar strike" before ......
I'm always trying to keeping up with todays more, nail it down approach .
I sit at the coin show with the coneca boys and it drives potter crazy ..
It's really a off-center with fringe benefits ..
That would look a WHOLE lot better in MY collection!

Found it on ebay, in a 24 hour auction .

Nor I, though I have described coins as "Broadstruck (or 'struck off center, or whatever) with collar stuck in raised position" or the like. I suppose that a term for "collar stuck in up position" does make sense.
I just took the coin out of the cardboard and there's no reeding, on the rim either ....
Comes from putting too much starch in your coin-show shirt.
