pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 04/29/2012 09:51 am An off centered error is struck out of the collar so the obv/rev die strikes are located off of the planchet at one point and more importantly, it has no reeding since the collar applies the reeding. Your coin would be closer to a broadstrike error. A broadstrike is another out of the collar strike with the obv/rev die strikes located completely on the coin. Sometimes you see these described as centered or uncentered. The centered broadstrike has the strike centered on the diameter where the uncentered is offset on one side but the whole design is present. Unfortunately I don't think your coin is either of these. I believe your coin has reeding on the edge so it was struck in the collar. When a coin is struck in the collar but is off centered (typically on one side) with design off of one side of the coin it is referred to as a misaligned die error or MAD. Since your coin is uncentered on one side with no design off the edge I would just call this a normal strike and not an error. Report this Post to the Staff
