JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21672 Posts	Posted 03/31/2021 10:15 am It's not off centre, it's a Misaligned Die (MAD) Might have a bit of value to a collector as it is borderline to having some of the lettering missing. Edited by JimmyD 03/31/2021 12:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Seems like the die would suffer a lot of attrition with a lot of outside die wear happening on the collar. These dies do get altered though. Report this Post to the Staff
