Gigi2 Valued Member United States 319 Posts	Posted 01/16/2024 12:26 pm I know this isn't very much off-center and not unusual, but I thought it was interesting. So, my expert friends, how much off-center is this and hit me with any acronyms I need to learn, if any, on this. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 99376 Posts	Posted 01/16/2024 12:49 pm Well if you want acronyms, try this one. It is a very slight MAD strike. A Mis-Aligned Die strike. Meaning that just the obverse in this case is not centered and the reverse is. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." - Benjamin Franklin 7070 type set coin count: 51/76 Uncirculated American Silver Eagles My American Silver Eagle Proof Collection Sacagawea Dollars Innovation Dollars Eisenhower-Dollars Kennedy-Half Dollars Washington-Quarters Roosevelt-Dimes Buffalo-Nickels 1938-2005 Jefferson-Nickels Lincoln-Cents Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34458 Posts	Posted 01/16/2024 1:09 pm I agree with there being a slight MAD on the obverse, but would add that there is a bit of Ridge Ring as well.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75560 Posts	Posted 01/16/2024 1:10 pm Very minor Misaligned Die (MAD) and Ridge Ring, which is a form of Die Deterioration. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19288 Posts	Posted 01/16/2024 1:12 pm Yes, misaligned die (somewhat minor), and hint of an obverse ridge ring--indicative of Die Deterioration. Report this Post to the Staff
