Would have been extremely cool if it was also a Large Bust!

I may be wrong, but this looks like an offcentred coin, not misaligned dies.

as the obv is the anvil die, which can not be misaligned, I feel this is another example of a poorly adjusted collar. The collar did not hold the planchet right zero in the middle of the striking chamber. Make sense?
