mikek New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 01/02/2007 11:49 am I am referring to off center stamping. I will try again to post a pic. no luck on the pic. tells me that it can't connect are pennies that are stamped off center worth anything? I found a 1988 that about a quarter of the rim is missing directly to the right of lincoln's head. The date and everything else is there. I would post a pic, but I can't seem to get it on right now.

TreasHunt Pillar of the Community United States 2540 Posts	Posted 01/02/2007 6:29 pm Sounds more like a clipped planchet, with the "about a quarter of the rim is missing directly to the right of Lincoln's head." Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 01/02/2007 10:00 pm Sounded to me like The post was talking about an off center strike (are pennies that are stamped off center worth anything? ) without pics sometimes its hard to tell what is actually up with the coin !!

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/03/2007 6:11 pm Is the reverse centered correctly? If it is centered, that was caused by misaligned dies. If the reverse has a thin rim as well, it is not enough for it to be considered off center- the rim has to be broken with and a blank planchet area has to be present. Either way, it is just a numismatic curiosity with no value over face. Report this Post to the Staff
mikek New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 01/04/2007 04:57 am the back is centered. on the front you can see where the rim just sort of runs off the edge. I have another one like it. on the top the >in god we trust" is right at the edge. back is ok. Report this Post to the Staff
TreasHunt Pillar of the Community United States 2540 Posts	Posted 01/05/2007 6:06 pm Mike: It sounds like you have a misaligned die. This is a common error, little or no additional value (above face). Sorry. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 01/08/2007 10:31 pm Misaligned die strike, and rather common. I agree with TreasHunt. Report this Post to the Staff
