Can Someone tell me what causes this to a Silver Eagle?

Hello,
I was going through some Silver Eagles and came across this 2001 Silver Eagle with a metal end thingy sticking out the edge of the coin. It is round (like the end of a piece of wire) it will not come off. What do you think? Thanks,
Dan

I am guessing it was used for jewelry.

This is the result of a cracked collar. The collar is the "third die" in the coin production process and is subject to cracking.

When it does, this is what happens.

There is plenty of slop in US Mint SAE Tubes to accomodate this.
