Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 05/23/2021 03:06 am This is a misaligned die (MAD). Unlike a true off-center strike, the offset only occurs on one side. Generally not worth a premium unless much more severe. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34464 Posts	Posted 05/23/2021 07:06 am For me, this one might be worth saving in a 2x2. I agree with @chip that the added premium of a minor MAD is small, but the cost of ownership is low and this cent is quite pleasing (to me anyways).
