Partial collar question...

I found this and am trying to determine if it is indeed one. How does an expert come to their conclusion? Can it be any size? How is the coin affected? Rims? Anyone have one that they could share the attributes of? Thanks.

Unless you suspect that the plain, unreeded portion of edge was created as a post-mintage deceptive alteration, this is a partial collar strike.

Edited to add: corrections posted below. Additionally, the surface of the unreeded area on your coin looks like the result of machining outside the Mint.

i don't have much of any value to add but it seems to me a partial collar coin would have the part not in the collar sticking out further than the collared part

You're correct LNOCC. Brain freeze on my initial observation. Here is a PCGS-62 1881 M$1 that I sold recently to a very high end error collector. This is a tilted partial collar strike. I've also owned a 1878-S PCGS-53 "railroad rim" partial collar strike.
