Spence Moderator United States 34447 Posts	Posted 01/01/2022 07:26 am @sbg, as a general statement, if both sides are offset then it is considered an off-center strike; however, when only one side is off (like with this coin), then it is considered a mis-aligned die. We typically tell folks that there is a bump in desirability when the letters start to fall off the edge of the coin. Yours is a nice example, but doesn't quite make it to that point yet.
