cownick Pillar of the Community Canada 677 Posts	Posted 03/07/2013 7:46 pm Yes you are correct, one die is not in alignment with the other. They are common on all denominations unless the strike is more than 5%. More off centering the more the premium. They are still fun to collect. Report this Post to the Staff
