Found this 1990 penny which looks to have some forced misalignments. What are your thoughts everyone?

Looks like it's probably a MAD. Does the reverse have the same thing, or it is normal?

Silver, the reverse is more normal.

Definitely MAD. Retail value maybe 2 bucks at most.

It is definitely a MAD if only one side is affected. Interesting find

This is called a Misaligned Die (MAD). In order to become collectable, it has to be missing letters or the letters have to be truncated. http://www.lincolncentforum.com/mis...ter-strikes/

I see no evidence that misalignment was forced. In other words, it shows no accompanying error that might have forced the obverse (hammer) die sideways.
