CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 07/10/2012 11:36 pm Most likely, the reverse is centered, making it a misaligned die, not an off-center coin. It has to be much further off to be worth anything in either case. Report this Post to the Staff

Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 07/11/2012 12:34 pm For any coin to be off center, it must have some of the coins design missing at the same location on both sides... Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 07/15/2012 07:35 am I don't even think it's a misaligned die. It would have to be off by more than a half percent. It's almost hard to tell which part of the rim is thicker on this coin, really. Report this Post to the Staff
