Yesterday I found a 1999 D Lincoln that has an obverse centering error . It was stamped off center causing the rim on one side to be heavy and thick a non-existent edge rim on the other . The reverse is normal... Question is what is the name for this ? and is it very rare ? I don't have a camera other than my cellphone so I can not provide a picture .

Sounds more like a MAD (misaligned die). If the reverse is centered then this is not an off centered coin. If the reverse is centered, obverse is a little off center and the amount of being off center does not go into the design or the letters then this is a normally struck coin. A MAD is not an error until some design elements including letters are missing.

Thanks for pointing that out to me . The lettering and date is not missing any... but there is no rim on one edge at all . I will consider it a misaligned die .
