ok...
I better provide pics!
Working on it now.
The 2 I consider misstruck have no rim at all on one edge, and is bent on the other edge. I think the blank stayed outside the collar when the coin was stamped.

I found one like this last week and wasn't sure if it was big enough but if it is then looks like we're both onto a winner. Mine is dated 2000.

Here's a pic of the one I found. Slightly more aligned than yours but very close I think.  |

Either MAD or off center, depending on whether it's on both sides.

Enworb,
I think your coin is in better condition than either of mine.

I have gone through approx $2250 of 5c.
Wow... just worked out that is 45,000 coins!
I have only found 2 like this, so they are pretty rare

You have been through a lot of 5c coins! 2 from 45,000 is pretty rare. Not having much knowledge of error coins I nearly didnt bother keeping the one I found. On ebay I have seen some of the mistrikes in predecimals and theyre quite spectacular. |
