SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 10/27/2015 10:40 pm Could we see the reverse? Looks like a slight mad with no value, but we need reverse pics to be sure. Report this Post to the Staff

SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 10/28/2015 12:25 am It's a slightly misaligned obverse die. Not worth anything unless the devices fall off the rim. yours is common and worth 1 cent. Report this Post to the Staff

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 10/28/2015 03:10 am On an off center strike, both sides are equally off center. A MAD (Mis Aligned Die) error happens when the hammer die is slightly mis-aligned as it strikes the planchet on the anvil die. There are many examples on this page: http://www.lincolncentsonline.com/o...strikes.html Hope this helps! Edited by cwb 10/28/2015 03:11 am Report this Post to the Staff
