nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15446 Posts	Posted 04/29/2012 8:36 pm Let's please get our numismatic terminology correct ... This coin exhibits a Mis-Aligned Die (MAD) strike on the obverse ... for the 1983 LMC the obverse was the hammer die while the reverse was constrained in the collar. MAD occur when the hammer die is off-set from the anvil die (reverse in this case) ... and the strike is contained within the collar ... such as this coin where the reverse strike is normally centered. An off-center strike is when the coin is not constrained in the collar and both sides are off-set an equal amount. chzman 1983 LMC is a minor MAD ... I would keep it as a fun roll find ... but it is not worth much of a premium. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

chzman Pillar of the Community United States 1137 Posts	Posted 04/30/2012 08:17 am Now that I think of it, this "83" might have missed the scale, I will weigh it when I get home and post the results. Report this Post to the Staff
