I found this Kennedy half while sorting through some coin. It seems like an off-center error of some kind. Along the reeded edge it begins to smooth of for a while then goes back to being reeded. I am still kind of new to collecting so I'm just wondering what kind of error (if any) I have found.

Off center would affect both obverse and reverse. This coin is a misaligned die reverse. Also has a partial collar error, the rim. Very cool find.

Its hard to tell from the pics, but I think it does affect both sides. At the top of the obverse there is a large amount of space between the "BER" letting and the edge.

It's a partial collar error. Some are more dramatic than others, and this is one of those more dramatic ones.
