Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 11/16/2014 1:57 pm I used to see this sort of rim doubling on Lincoln cents but never before on half dollars. Would this be considered an off-center strike? The reverse seems normal except for some rim weakness at about the 5:00 position. The coin had some tape on the obverse and acetone was only partially successful at removing it. Maybe I'll try some Verdi-Care. Do you think this is worth keeping as an error coin, or should I just release it into the wild? Thanks for your opinions! Report this Post to the Staff

Rollsearcher37 Pillar of the Community United States 1295 Posts	Posted 11/16/2014 2:31 pm That's called a MAD (or mis-aligned die), and occurs when the dies are not parallel to each other when they strike the coin. So this is an error, but falls just short of being collectable IMHO; usually there is only a premium for MAD's when the devices get cut off at the rim. Report this Post to the Staff

Minor errors are frequently posted on CCF and the posters usually want to know "what's it worth?" In this case there is a specific answer! Report this Post to the Staff
