    Does the strike usually suffer or get altered in some way on coins like this?

    I would think that if metal squished out of the edge, then a full pressure was not really developed on the coin, as there was a place for the metal to flow?

    Can you speak about strikes and errors like this?

    Fascinating. Then it's probably just a little bit thinner? I'm sure you cannot measure; it's in a slab.

    Ultra cool. What is the largest denomination error gold you have?

    Nope can't measure though the slab image

    Here's a Partial Tilted Collar $50 in a PCGS MS69 holder, which needs to go into a Edge View holder to really see the error.

    Broadstruck, I don't know if you ever saw this one of mine when I posted it awhile back. It's now in a PCGS DCAM PR-69 slab, but for the life of me, I can't see what kept it from a PR-70 grade - unless it was simply the offcenter strike.

    Wow, I thought this title was sarcastic. I can see now it isn't.

    I wish MY mistakes were worth a lot of money.

    I'd be mega-rich by now. image

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    would someone please teach BS how to grade so the poor guy can pick out a quality coin for a change?!

    What did PCGS designate this as a Finned Rim... as it's not Off Center image

    It shows you how much I don't know! Yes, they designated it a finned rim. I guess that there's a difference.image

    I've never seen a Proof or MS 70 mint error in a PCGS holder... in NGC armor I have seen one.
