ok...
I better provide pics!
Working on it now.
The 2 I consider misstruck have no rim at all on one edge, and is bent on the other edge. I think the blank stayed outside the collar when the coin was stamped.

I found one like this last week and wasn't sure if it was big enough but if it is then looks like we're both onto a winner. Mine is dated 2000.

Here's a pic of the one I found. Slightly more aligned than yours but very close I think.  |

Either MAD or off center, depending on whether it's on both sides.

Enworb,
I think your coin is in better condition than either of mine.
