I found this in my pocket change and thought that I had found an off-center strike error. I am wondering now, though, if it isn't an angled strike instead. One edge of the coin is thicker but I don't see that the imprint is any shallower on the other. I am having difficulty getting a good "edge shot".

Looks like a minor MAD coin. (MisAlignedDie) They become collectable when the devices of one side fall over the rim of the coin. Just a spendable coin, but it is a BU coin if you need one for your collection.

I think it is an OC strike but just slight.
Noticed the reverse is off a tad also.

Thank you for the responses. Would an Off-Center or MAD result in an uneven thickness?
