Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 76244 Posts	Posted 11/05/2017 1:57 pm A MAD (Misaligned Die) but not enough to make it worth over face value. Pretty much a normal coin. Only worth a little more in Copper melt value. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/05/2017 7:24 pm I do see some weakness on the AME area on the reverse. So it would have been a collectable MAD because the devices would have fallen over the edge of the coin if the MAD was in a different location. I would save it for now. Report this Post to the Staff
