1973 Lincoln with a very odd looking edge. Is this an off center strike? The left edge seems thicker than the right. Back side seems to be fine though.

Misaligned die strike(MAD), the obverse and reverse die were not quite aligned with each other. It is a very common occurrence so it carries no premium unless some of the peripheral devices are missing.

I forgot to mention that an off-center error will be equally off-center on both sides since it is an issue of the planchet not being aligned with the dies vs. the dies not being aligned with each other.

The 1973's were know for the strong strike. Thus the tall rim on the edge.
