CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 04/28/2012 9:14 pm Since only one side is off-center, it's actually a misaligned die (MAD). They don't have any value unless they're far enough off center that some of the devices fall off the edge. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/28/2012 10:14 pm Most of the time it seem be not be corrected. Eventually the die wears part of the rim away. This is called die attrition: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...ttrition.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._Diamond.jpg This didn't happen your coin as the die hadn't suffered this for a long time. But if they re-located the die position, then it prevents this from happening. Report this Post to the Staff
