That's not a mule, its a horse he is riding. yes, I think he has a collared shirt on.
Seriously, making up error categories on the fly does none of us any good. It sets me immediately up on the edge of negativity. Its best to offer some sort of amplifying information or you wont get any more comments from me. Tell us what you know of the coin and what you think the issue is. Research works if the owner and others work together.Gary Kozera

Edge Variety
Any variation of the edge created by intent or error that results in differences of the edge design such as (but not limited to) the number or style of reeds, ornamentation, position of edge lettering, etc. This term also encompasses “Abnormal reeding.” See Abnormal reeding.

As I suspected:
"Collar mules among U.S. coins have not been reported. Edge variations are common among world coins, but whether any are collar mules is unknown."
So - if none have ever been reported, it is unknown if any exist. One would have to count the individual reeds around the coin edge and see if they add up to the required amount for that coin. Not so sure this would be a popular item. If it were attributed and slabbed, the area wouldn't be seen so it may be a stopping point for most of the people I deal with.
I am not into learning about a hypothetical condition that may exist one day. It's a possibility that has not been reported for over a century so for me it's nothing to add to my library of knowledge.
The collar is a specific size for each coin. US coins have reeds on the dime, quarter and half dollar. It would not matter what year a collar is, its the size that is important. So the collar for the dime is way too small for a normal sized quarter to fit within.
The spacing tolerance is minute, giving the metal just enough room to spread during the strike and fill that area in.
Same issue with a half collar on a quarter, the quarter would not snugly to produce a proper reeding, the coin would be too thin and reeding probably would not exist around the entire coin.
Reeding has been known of be off on some of the coins, but that is usually related to a partial collar or other issue.Last edited by MintErrors; 03-23-2022, 06:02 AM.Gary Kozera
