Is this what's called an uncentered broadstrike? The reverse is normal so it's not an off center coin. The devices aren't cut so is it worth keeping?

Glad to know there are a few other night owls out there.

I can't really tell from the pics, but I'm sure the pros can. If you put it side by side with another LMC is it physically wider than the other coin? If so, then I believe it is broadstruck and definitely worth keeping. Otherwise, it might just be a misaligned die (MAD), and just has cool factor. Either way, I'd keep it.

Thanks Scooby, I think you're right about the MAD. I think the broadstrucks look different.
